A large canvas. Spring-like. Green — not sharp, not screaming, but alive, breathing. And such texture that your hand reaches out on its own. This is love that needs to be touched. Without words. Without explanations. Simply — to caress it with your gaze and with your fingers.
Across this green field — painstakingly, patiently, with a palette knife — small rectangles and triangles are laid out. They create texture. They create movement. They fall from above and rush downward, toward the center. Like leaves? Like particles of something that scattered in order to gather again? It doesn't matter. They are flying.
The Passage
And then — the main thing. From top to bottom, across the entire canvas, a wide line-rectangle descends. Like a passage into another reality. Like sliding doors that someone has thrown wide open. The edges of this passage are slightly darker — they hold the form, emphasize the depth, keep it from getting lost.Inside — a white perspective. Not yet knowing itself. Not fussy. Slightly cold. But confident. This whiteness looks into the distance and does not tremble.
Sky and Water
Above — a green sky with its own height. Below — green water. They are of the same kind, but of different essences. And the entire canvas is covered with a yellow glaze — thin, transparent, like a ray through the clouds. The green background and the yellow glaze together give warmth. They warm you. Not hot, but cozy — like on the inside, when finally, you let go.
Darkness and Light
On the open doors — a dark color. This is not fear. This is an understanding of darkness. It does not creep inside, does not frighten, does not close in. It emphasizes the passage. It remains within itself. Without it, there would be no depth. Without it, you wouldn't understand where you are entering.And inside the passage — a sun. Blue. Square. Small. You won't notice it immediately. But when you do — it changes everything. This is clarity. Calm, quiet, without grandiosity. And its reflections on the green water — like confirmation: yes, it is here. Yes, it is important.
The Mission
The overall impression — soft, calm. The eye does not wander. It falls immediately into the passage. Not into the texture, not into the color, not into the details. Into this open corridor between sky and water, between warmth and slight coolness, between darkness and the blue sun.This is a mission. And it is more important than everything else.
This painting is a self-portrait of a state.Not of a face. Not of a body. But of what is inside.Textured. Layered.
Alive.In it — a passage inside oneself.Not open to everyone. Not understandable to
everyone.In it — warmth that is not given to
everyone.It is not spread across the surface. It is hidden in the layers, in the glazes, in the yellow glow over the green
background.In it — darkness that has been accepted and not hidden
away.It is not an enemy. It is a form. It emphasizes the passage, holds the light, does not let it dissolve.And in it — a blue sun.Square. Small. Almost
invisible.It does not warm in the way we are used to. It gives clarity.I see it only I — and those who know how to look not only with their eyes.
This is not just a
painting.It is a fixation of a state.A document of internal reality.A self-portrait of one who has passed through chaos, texture, darkness — and opened the passage.
