Oil painting Radiance of warmth Oleksandr Gukalov

№AAA3252

The painting "Radiance of Warmth" is an abstract oil on canvas that exudes energy and vibrancy through its use of warm, radiant colors and bold textures. The artist employs a striking palette dominated by shades of red, orange, yellow, and pink. These warm tones are blended and contrasted to create a dynamic visual experience. The technique is a mix of smooth, gradient transitions and thick, textured impasto, which adds depth and interest to the piece. The impasto technique, characterized by the thick application of paint, gives the painting a tactile, almost sculptural quality. The composition is abstract, with no discernible figures or objects, allowing the viewer to focus entirely on the interplay of colors and textures. The painting features large, amorphous shapes that seem to flow and blend into one another. The top section is dominated by bright yellows and oranges, which gradually transition into deeper reds and pinks towards the bottom. The top of the painting is characterized by vibrant yellows and oranges, evoking a sense of warmth and light. The paint is applied smoothly, creating a soft, glowing effect. The middle section features more dynamic and varied brushstrokes, with splashes of red and orange breaking up the softer yellow background. This creates a sense of movement and energy. The bottom of the painting is dominated by rich, deep reds and pinks, applied thickly to the canvas. The textured impasto in this area creates a sense of depth and complexity, inviting the viewer to explore the intricacies of the paint's surface. The overall mood of the painting is warm and inviting, evoking feelings of joy, energy, and vitality. The vibrant colors and dynamic composition convey a sense of movement and life, while the warm tones create an atmosphere of comfort and positivity. As an abstract piece, "Radiance of Warmth" allows for multiple interpretations. It might evoke images of a sunset, with the transition of colors representing the changing sky. Alternatively, it could be seen as a representation of emotions, with the warm colors symbolizing passion, love, and energy. The lack of defined shapes encourages viewers to engage with the painting on a personal level, finding their own meaning and resonance within the vibrant hues and textures. This painting beautifully captures the essence of warmth and radiance, using color and texture to create a powerful visual and emotional impact.

About the artists: Oleksiyander Gukalov
After graduating from Lviv Polytechnic, he was engaged in scientific work. In his free time, he studied the works of Plato, the poetry of the ancient East, and religious works. At this time, resistance to the routine of life and utilitarian science arose in him; he became interested in man and his secrets. Oleksiyander decided to end his engineering career and become a humanitarian. Since 1990, he began to write and publish philosophical poems. Later he decided to devote himself to painting, a passion for which began during his years of study at the Lviv Polytechnic with caricatures and caricatures of classmates and teachers.

Since 2017 he has been painting with oil paints. Oleksiyander does not have a formal art education, but he is convinced that the craft and talent of an artist do not directly depend on professional education. The artist's works are characterized by completeness of composition and depth of meaning. He is not afraid to work with different themes, his paintings are true modern art that touches people. The artist’s portfolio includes landscapes and views of his favorite cities, portraits of pop stars, politicians, athletes, relatives, and animals. “I draw a toga when I feel the need for it. Therefore, I cannot say that I work in some narrow direction. Rather, it is a call from the soul,” the artist says about himself.
