Original artwork description:

Zakhar Shevchuk’s Evening Fountain (2024) transforms a familiar urban motif into a deeply atmospheric meditation on light, water, and emotion. Painted in expressive strokes of oil, the fountain rises in tones of white and gold against a background of luminous blue. The outlines are intentionally dissolved, allowing the subject to hover between abstraction and figuration, impression and memory. This technique draws the viewer into the fleeting beauty of dusk, when light and color merge into an almost spiritual vision.

The painting belongs to Shevchuk’s ongoing fountain series, where each work explores how subtle changes in color and tone alter emotional effect. In Evening Fountain, the dialogue between warm golden highlights and deep blue atmosphere creates a mood of contemplation and quiet renewal. The work is not just a depiction of a fountain, but a symbolic image of transition and reflection – an invitation for viewers to slow down, breathe, and immerse themselves in the meditative rhythm of water and light.
