Original artwork description:
Hide and Seek (2021) is an evocative exploration of how much of ourselves remains unseen. In this oil-on-canvas composition, Zakhar Shevchuk juxtaposes a visible feminine silhouette with a barely perceptible male figure behind a translucent curtain. The painting unfolds gradually – revealing its hidden form only to those willing to look deeper.
The textured grey surface, with its soft interplay of light and shadow, suggests a psychological veil separating inner truth from outward perception. The semi-abstract treatment transforms this quiet portrait into a metaphor for the hidden dimensions of self and relationships.
Combining expressive brushwork with subtle emotional tension, Hide and Seek invites contemplation on how identity is shaped, concealed, and rediscovered.
