Original artwork description:

Side Portrait (2022) reveals Zakhar Shevchuk’s fascination with the inner self. The semi-abstract figure appears caught in a moment of quiet reflection, facing a luminous surface that blurs the line between the tangible and the spiritual.

Thick layers of oil paint create a tactile, almost sculptural surface that conveys both physicality and fragility. The muted palette – dominated by pale greys and soft beige tones – enhances the atmosphere of stillness and introspection.

This work invites the viewer into a meditative dialogue about identity, perception, and the lifelong process of self-understanding.
