(from the “From the HOLIDAY to the HOLIDAY” series)
Canvas, charcoal pencil, acrylic · 80 × 136 cm · Russia

The artworks from the "Pressure" series, skillfully executed with a blend of charcoal pencil strokes and dynamic acrylic hues, converge as a triptych bound by a singular narrative.

Diverse, vibrant splatters of paint, pulsing with an innate vitality, stand as an emblem of life's daily revelry, saturating the human canvas with a spectrum of intense sentiments. Yet, there are moments when we find ourselves unprepared for the intensity of these emotions, instinctively seeking refuge by tempering their fervency. The surge of unfiltered feelings constitutes our most delicate point, a facet we endeavor to shield, fearing misunderstanding, reproach, or derision - akin to baring our souls. Paradoxically, however, this emotional mosaic forms an indispensable thread in the tapestry of life.
