Marginal (2024) Original Oil Painting by Igor Konovalov

№Kon 47
Marginal is a surreal oil on canvas composition that presents a striking bird standing in shallow water near the shore under an open sky filled with clouds. The tall bird with a long beak appears calm and watchful as it balances on one leg above the blue water. Around it, small floating rabbits drift through the air, bringing a playful and unexpected contrast to the quiet natural setting.

The artwork explores the fragile boundary between the natural world and imagination. The solitary bird becomes the central figure of the scene, symbolizing stillness and observation within the open landscape. The sky, water, and clouds create a peaceful horizon, while the floating rabbits introduce surreal movement that transforms the calm environment into a poetic and slightly mysterious moment.

This artwork is created with oil on canvas, using rich tones of blue and deep red to emphasize contrast and atmosphere. The bird stands elegantly against the sky and water, while reflections and soft clouds create depth within the composition. The rabbits add rhythm and motion to the scene, surrounding the bird with playful forms that enhance the dreamlike character of the work.
