Contemporary portrait "Morning Coffee" (2024)Acrylic painting by Nataliya Bagatskaya

In the morning, my cat always sits on the windowsill and waits for me to drink coffee before asking for food. In this piece, I sought to capture a tranquil moment of contemplation. The figure's introspective gaze and the cat's silent companionship create a narrative of stillness against life's chaos. Symbolic elements whisper tales of solitude and reflection.
For texture on the primed canvas before painting, a layer of textured paste with small glass particles is applied and then sanded with sandpaper for smoothness.
Dutch acrylic paints Amsterdam and Italian fine-grained cotton canvas tm Unico were used in the work. Finish - satin varnish. The ends are painted in the background color. Additional framing is not required. I called this series "Life in Avatar". Created on and shipped on a pre-stretched canvas on a wooden frame. Painting is packed carefully in cardboard box with layers of bubble wrap to protect it.
