Original artwork description:

Stolen Spring is an abstract oil painting that explores the emotional experience of interruption and suspended renewal. Through a nuanced palette of greens, blues, and softened greys, Zakhar Shevchuk constructs a layered surface that recalls a landscape without defining it. Drips, scraped areas, and translucent layers create a sense of time passing unevenly – slow in some places, unsettled in others.

Painted in 2022, the work subtly reflects a moment when the natural rhythm of life was disrupted. Rather than illustrating events, the artist transforms this experience into an open emotional field. The absence of recognizable forms allows viewers to engage with the painting intuitively, discovering their own meanings within its depth and texture.

This piece exemplifies Shevchuk’s approach to abstraction as a form of emotional translation. Calm yet charged, restrained yet expressive, Stolen Spring offers a quiet but powerful presence suited for collectors who value introspection and atmosphere. The artist is open to commissions.
