Girls (2021) Original Oil Painting by Alexander Levich

In Girls (2021), Alexander Levich captures a moment of movement and quiet interaction within his L’uomo Che Guarda series. Two female figures step into the shallow water, their bodies aligned in motion, suggesting a shared experience rather than an isolated presence. The scene feels spontaneous, as if observed in passing, yet carefully distilled into its essential elements.

The painting is built around rhythm and contrast. The cool, shifting blues of the sea provide a fluid backdrop, while the warm tones of the figures bring a sense of light and physical presence. Levich’s brushwork remains loose and economical, allowing the forms to emerge without over-definition, preserving the immediacy of the moment. The figures appear both grounded and transient, shaped as much by light as by structure.

This work introduces a subtle narrative quality to the series, where the act of observation extends beyond a single figure into a shared moment. It invites the viewer to engage not only with the image, but with the sensation of movement, warmth, and companionship – a fleeting yet familiar experience of summer by the sea.
