This artwork has sold, but the artist is accepting commission requests. Commissioning an artwork is easy and you get a perfectly personalised piece.

What is this painting about? Is it just about a train? Of course not, let me suggest a few options.
Perhaps, using allegorical language, the artist painted the image of a person who thinks about his projects for too long and has already become covered in scuffs and is acquiring the features of a dilapidated object that urgently needs a fresh solution, a way out of a dead end, action.
Or maybe, by painting the USSR equipment and calling the painting "On the siding", the author makes it clear that much of what we tried to throw into the dustbin of time was not so bad and it is worth looking into the archives, taking into a new life not only the most progressive, but also the fundamental, on which everything new can be fixed and built.
And also looking at this work gives an understanding that the author loves working with texture, enjoys complex strokes of paint, which contain several shades of color and, using an unusual language of painting, gives us a lot of emotions and thoughts.

Materials used:

acrylic, texture paste, acrylic varnish
