Original artwork description
You do not know, you do not know what this violin is,
What the dark terror of a beginner's game is!
He who once took it in commanding hands,
For him the serene light of the eyes has vanished forever,
The spirits of hell love to listen to these royal sounds,
Frenzied wolves roam the road of violinists.
Gumilev.
Series "PEOPLE": This is a unique perspective on human nature and perception. These works of art distort proportions and shapes, giving the characters a surreal appearance that evokes feelings of strangeness and curiosity. Each painting explores the theme of individuality and identity, showing how the environment and perception can influence our understanding of ourselves and others. The distortions create an effect of emotional depth, prompting the viewer to reflect on how the diversity of human experiences can be both beautiful and unsettling. This series invites contemplation on how we see the world and how we are seen by others, highlighting the fragility and complexity of human existence.
