Red Sun (2007) Original Oil Painting by Anatolii Tarabаnov

Tar40
Oil on canvas artwork “Red Sun” is an expressive abstract composition where a glowing crimson sphere dominates the center, radiating warmth and tension across a layered urban-like landscape. Fragments of architecture, reflections, and soft human presence merge into a dreamlike scene, blending abstraction with figurative hints. Rich reds, turquoise blues, and muted earth tones create depth and movement, evoking a city at dusk or a memory dissolving in light.

This piece was inspired by the emotional contrast between chaos and calm — the feeling of being surrounded by noise yet finding an inner stillness. The subtle figure emerging on the right side adds a human dimension, suggesting introspection, solitude, or quiet observation. I especially love how the red sun becomes both a physical object and a symbolic core, drawing the viewer into a layered narrative where reality and imagination coexist.

Created using oil on canvas, the work combines glazing, palette knife textures, and expressive brushwork to achieve its luminous and fragmented effect. The surface reveals multiple layers, allowing light to interact with color in a dynamic way. This artwork will resonate with collectors who appreciate contemporary abstraction with emotional depth, making it a striking focal point in modern interiors.
