Mother and Child (2021)Oil painting by Zakhar Shevchuk
70 x 105 x 2cm (unframed)
£2,703.59
Original artwork description
Mother and Child is a figurative–abstract oil painting that explores protection, closeness, and emotional gravity. The composition is dynamic, built from expressive brushwork and layered movement, yet the mother’s figure remains calm and cantered as she bends gently over the child.
This contrast between motion and stillness creates a powerful emotional structure. The mother’s posture forms a visual shelter around the child, while a small red balloon introduces a symbolic accent recurring in Zakhar Shevchuk’s works from this period. The balloon suggests innocence, fragility, and the continuity of childhood experience.
Painted in 2021, the work reflects the artist’s refined ability to merge figurative presence with abstract atmosphere. Mother and Child offers collectors a timeless and emotionally resonant piece grounded in universal human relationships. The artist is open to commissions.
