Strain 2 (2025) Original Acrylic Painting by Veronika Obushikhina

This work is built around the idea of moving through uncertainty. A small geometric fragment marks the point where direction is first set, while the stepped line becomes a metaphor for the decisions made along the way—carefully, deliberately, and without any guaranteed outcome.

The large open surface emphasizes the absence of external guidance. Against this backdrop, the vertical fracture acts as a tense gesture: a moment when inner focus is required to keep the trajectory from collapsing. This piece is about the ability to remain composed, to continue moving, and to hold your course even when the surrounding space offers no answers.
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.
