Black Cloud (2025)Acrylic painting
by Zakhar Shevchuk

5 Artist Reviews

£2,900.39

Black Cloud is a striking abstract painting that captures the emotional weight of tension gathering in the air. Broad, dark strokes sweep across the top of the canvas, forming a cloud-like mass that feels heavy, charged, and foreboding. Below, layers of white and grey dissolve into one another, creating a sense of turbulence and uncertainty.

Inspired in part by the psychological atmosphere of living through repeated bombings in Ukraine, the painting remains open to wider interpretation. Shevchuk uses abstraction to express emotions rather than depict events. The contrast between darkness and light becomes a universal symbol of conflict, inner struggle, or moments of crisis that demand strength.

With its powerful movement and emotional depth, Black Cloud speaks to resilience – the human capacity to withstand pressure and persist despite fear or instability. It is a raw, compelling work that resonates far beyond its origin.
