Private Passion

We often find it hard to express our feelings. When we are overwhelmed by a certain emotion, there is so much happening inside us that words just don’t suffice to describe it. The same dilemma stands before every artist. After all, their task is even harder – they have to convey their excitement, despair and anger through images. How challenging it must be to come up with a perfect arrangement of all elements resonating with your inner world! Especially when you are limited by genre standards. This issue was solved when art moved beyond the boundaries of realism and first attempts were made to depict emotions and impressions right as they are, off the top of one’s head. That’s how abstract art was born.

Expression without boundaries

The painting you see is called ‘Private Passion.’ And we can only guess why. In each of us, it will evoke different associations. Some will see roaring waves of fire sweeping over the canvas and setting everything ablaze. Others might notice vague silhouettes of women formed by undulating lines of contrasting colors. And even if you can’t trace any particular shapes in this mysterious whirlpool, you will definitely get some sort of vibe from the way it is painted. A great advantage of abstract art is that it isn’t restricted by rules of composition, set of objects to depict, light conditions and other technical aspects. You can paint whatever you want using any colors and images that you find appropriate for your purpose. Isn’t that what we call freedom?

Let’s take a closer look at the canvas

• - The vibrant, intense palette of the painting consists of chocolate brown, ginger, orange, canary yellow, aquamarine and blue united in spectacular duos and trios.
• - Smooth, whirling lines form an incessant flow of color giving you an impression of fluidity, continuity and turbulence – soft yet powerful, meditative and dynamic at the same time.
• - Using different types of brushes, the author creates a multilayered texture adding depth and perspective to his work.

Whether this abstract art painting expresses the overpowering feeling of love, secret passion that turns our life into sweet anguish, pure erotic desire or simply human ability to feel, it can easily raise a storm of thoughts and emotions in an observant viewer.  And the more you look at it the more impactful it grows.
