Strain 1 (2025) Original Acrylic Painting by Veronika Obushikhina

This work explores a situation where a decision is not reduced to choosing between two opposing options. What matters here is not the separation, but the attempt to find a point of connection — a place where different directions can merge into a single movement.
The thin line conveys a moment of control: the energy does not scatter but is directed precisely to maintain connection and define one’s own vector within uncertainty. The piece reflects how a resolution can emerge not from opposition, but from integration.

The painting is made with acrylic on canvas. The artwork size is 80×100 cm, with a depth of 3 cm, and the edges are painted to match the composition. The total canvas size, including borders, is 90×110 cm.
For protection, the surface is coated with a satin varnish. The painting will be shipped without a stretcher frame, rolled in a cardboard tube for safe transportation.
