Vacant Position (2024) Original Oil Painting by Igor Konovalov

№Kon 24
Vacant Position is a surreal oil on canvas composition that unfolds within a deep blue interior space illuminated by a dramatic beam of yellow light. Numerous rabbit-like flying figures float and drift through the dark atmosphere, their rounded forms and small wings creating the impression of weightless movement. At the center of the room a glowing circular opening radiates soft light, becoming the focal point toward which the surrounding figures appear to gravitate.

The scene suggests a mysterious gathering around an empty place waiting to be filled. The luminous circle on the floor functions as a symbolic vacant position, while the floating figures hover in anticipation above the shadowed space. The contrast between the dark blue environment and the strong yellow light intensifies the atmosphere of suspense, turning the interior into a dreamlike stage where motion, shadow, and light interact.

Executed in oil on canvas, the artwork demonstrates careful control of light and color. Smooth gradients of deep blue create depth, while bright highlights and reflections emphasize the sculptural quality of the floating forms. The interplay of shadow, light, and hovering figures gives the composition a dynamic yet contemplative character, inviting viewers to imagine the story behind the mysterious vacant position.
