Life in motion (2025)Gouache painting by Bogdan Shiptenko

Life in Motion captures the rhythm and poetry of everyday city life. Dozens of small human figures — walking, cycling, shopping, talking — fill the white space with movement and color. Each one exists in their own world, yet together they form a single living composition.

The painting reflects how our lives intersect in fleeting moments — strangers passing on the street, a couple with an umbrella, people lost in thought. The minimalist white background becomes a metaphor for space and time, allowing the figures to float freely and create their own rhythm.

Executed in gouache with fine detail and vibrant tones, this piece celebrates the beauty of daily movement — simple, universal, and endlessly human.
