Original artwork description:

In Echoes of Play, Igor Galan paints the fleeting beauty of an afternoon filled with movement and silence. Children’s figures shimmer within a patchwork of sunlight and shade, rendered through loose brushwork and finely tuned tonal shifts. The result feels almost cinematic – an image paused between frames, luminous and contemplative.

The artist’s palette conveys both warmth and distance: muted yellows and greens envelop the figures, while strokes of red and violet anchor the composition. Galan’s use of diffused focus transforms this everyday moment into a reverie. The viewer senses laughter, motion, and the stillness that follows.

More than a literal depiction, Echoes of Play is an emotional landscape. Through colour and rhythm, Galan turns the familiar into the mysterious, offering a vision of time’s fragile continuity.
