Evening with Leonardo (2026) Original Oil Painting by Tetiana Pchelnykova

Evening with Leonardo's Drawing is a deeply intimate, narrative oil painting from Tetiana Pchelnykova’s conceptual series Conversations of Objects. Measuring 50x50 cm, this artwork explores how everyday items carry unspoken memories and bridge the gap between past and present.
The composition centers around a moment of quiet contemplation: a glass filled with
deep crimson wine reflects surrounding light alongside a delicate cluster of fresh pink
blossoms. In the background, embedded into a rich, patinated texture with subtle gold
leaf accents, re-emerges a graphic study of Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic horse and rider
drawing.
Pchelnykova uses heavy-body oil paints and aged textures to evoke the "memory of
matter." The objects do not merely exist on canvas; they invite the viewer into a subtle
dialogue about time, personal mythology, and emotional resonance. The painting
creates a serene, intellectual atmosphere, serving as a reminder to pause, feel, and
listen to what usually remains unspoken between the lines of history.
