Art of the Day: "Fading Flower" by Leon Sarantos

“Fading Flower portrays a woman contemplating a flower. The theme is the fading of youth, both in the flower and the figure of a lady. Her challenge and ours is to seek new inspirations from past dreams and experiences. This is an abstract painting done loosely, with the interplay of the reds as one element, the highlighted areas of the woman's body and flower counterbalancing each other, and the purple providing the backdrop. The painting is part of a series in which I combine realism with elements of abstract patterns.”

Alexander Kriushin is works in the traditions of the European school of fine arts, combined with the southern temperament of execution. The artist travels a lot and works en plein air, but often a plain etude is just an excuse for further work, and then the work begins in the studio.
