Two Banks (2015) Original Oil Painting by Anatolii Tarabаnov

Tar43
Oil on canvas artwork “Two Banks” is a lyrical figurative composition depicting a graceful female figure suspended between abstract пространства, where flowing textures and soft color transitions evoke a sense of movement and separation. The scene blends elements of water, air, and dreamlike forms, with pale turquoise, ivory, and muted violet tones creating a calm yet dynamic atmosphere. The composition suggests a dialogue between two worlds — physical and emotional, near and distant.

This piece was inspired by the idea of transition and inner boundaries — the feeling of being between two states, two choices, or two realities. The gentle gesture of the figure’s hand reinforces this sense of reaching, hesitation, or quiet connection. I particularly love how the textured surface and layered композиция create depth, allowing the viewer to interpret their own meaning within the space between these “two banks.”

Created using oil on canvas, the artwork combines palette knife textures, glazing, and expressive brushwork to build a richly layered surface. The tactile details interact with soft gradients, enhancing the illusion of fluidity and воздух. This work will appeal to collectors drawn to contemporary figurative art with symbolic narrative and atmospheric depth, offering a refined and emotional focal point for modern interiors.
