Financial Freedom (2018)Watercolour by Yaroslav Kurbanov

In the modern world, where physical money has almost disappeared and financial transactions are reduced to numbers on bank cards, people gradually lose their sense of the real value of money and the limits of their own financial capabilities. Money becomes an abstraction, and spending turns invisible.

Society increasingly encourages the fulfillment of desires here and now through loans and installment plans. The opportunity to “take now and pay later” creates an illusion of freedom and accessibility, replacing conscious choice with an easy solution.

Over time, however, this false sense of freedom reveals its other side. Instead of truly owning what one can genuinely afford, a person becomes bound by obligations and debt. Credits that promise comfort gradually begin to restrict—depriving individuals of independence, peace of mind, and true financial freedom.

The painting raises an essential question: where is the line between freedom of choice and the voluntary surrender of that freedom?
