Oil painting The soul of a pelican Sergey Voichenko

"The Soul of a Pelican" by Sergey Voichenko: An Abstract Exploration of Nature's Serenity

Art Overview

"The Soul of a Pelican" is a profound abstract oil painting that captures the ethereal essence of the pelican, transcending its physical form to explore its spirit and connection to the natural world. This masterpiece is a highlight of our Collection of Abstract Painting and enriches our Collection of Portraits & Genre with its unique interpretation of wildlife artistry, showcasing the exceptional talent of Sergey Voichenko.

Description of the Painting

The artwork measures 60x70 cm and is masterfully executed on canvas, featuring the pelican’s iconic characteristics—its expansive beak and voluminous throat pouch—painted in a palette of earthy browns and golden yellows. These colors not only symbolize the pelican's sandy coastal habitats but also its deep-rooted connection to Earth’s elements. The eye of the pelican is rendered with a penetrating depth, reflecting a wisdom that surpasses the ordinary, inviting viewers to look beyond the surface.

The background melds abstract washes of blues, grays, and ochres, echoing the interplay of sky and sea at dusk. The texture is a vital component, with thick layers of paint applied using the impasto technique to give life-like texture to the pelican’s features, enhancing the three-dimensional effect of the painting. This textural richness adds a dynamic quality to the piece, emphasizing the pelican’s integration with the surrounding elements.

Artistic and Symbolic Interpretation

The artwork symbolically portrays the pelican at one with the universe, its form merging with abstract elements that suggest the cyclic nature of life, represented by a circular motif in the background, possibly the sun. "The Soul of a Pelican" goes beyond depicting wildlife; it is a contemplative piece that encourages viewers to ponder the deeper connections between all living things and the environments they inhabit.

About the Artist

Sergei Voichenko is a person whose studies began and ended at a children's art school (CHS).

Sergey does not participate in exhibitions and creative projects, considering this format uninteresting for himself. He exhibits and sells his work on various online art platforms. The process of creativity and constant search brings him pleasure. Sergei does not have one theme for drawing, and also does not have one style in his painting. He loves impressionism, expressionism and abstraction, as well as experimenting and having freedom of expression on canvas. Sergey enjoys ease in the process of drawing, although his work hardly seems easy in the end. He is inspired by many different artists, working in different styles and directions, whose work he sees on social networks. He doesn't consider them very famous, but each of them is interesting in their own way. In addition, Sergei finds inspiration in his life in its various manifestations.
