Divergence 5 (2025)Acrylic painting
by Veronika Obushikhina

“Divergence V: Trace of Tension” explores an internal map of tensions, where each fracture becomes a vector of movement, and each line marks the trace of a lived transformation.
The contrast between the deep matte black background and the sharp flashes of white and orange evokes a trajectory carved through darkness. These lines are not chaotic — they form a structure born of impact.
The work embodies the essence of antifragility: not to break under pressure, but to turn fracture into foundation.
The composition is built upon intersections — of directions, choices, inner states. This is not a map of the external world, but a diagram of tension at the moment of decision.
The piece continues the “Divergence” series, in which the artist investigates divergence as a point of growth and tension as a source of clarity.

The painting is made with acrylic on canvas. The artwork size is 120×100 cm, with a depth of 3 cm, and the edges are painted to match the composition. The total canvas size, including borders, is 131×111 cm.
For protection, the surface is coated with a satin varnish. The painting will be shipped without a stretcher frame, rolled in a cardboard tube for safe transportation.
