The waves
Painting by Elmira Shemsedinova
130 x 95 cm • Oil on canvas
Location:
Kyiv, Ukraine
"Blue, blue sea"
project
My work touches on the concept of the real and the illusory world, and refers
undoubtedly to the concepts of Rene Magritte. Here is an eternal reasoning about the
mechanism of depiction of the visible nature by the artist, comparison of conformity
of perception to the real world.
How it is possible to claim objectivity? Each of us, no matter how we perceives
anything whether landscape, or reality, or a certain situation will see only a possible
picture passed through the prism of individual subjective perception, which is unique.
Interesting for me in this work is the impression that the picture can have on the
viewer. I recall the old genre of "fake paintings", which looks very realistic, and the
viewer tries in perplexity to touch the surface of the objects, but it turns out that this
is just paint on canvas...
In my case, the picture does not reproduce the real world, but the one, which already
passed through the artistic eye with a quick sketch of the impression. Any painting
(landscape) is always an imitation of the landscape, which is just an illusion created by
the artist, showing own subjective vision. The increased forgery impact of one's own
picture reinforces the effect of misleading the viewer. It is important that by dint of
forgery, imitation and the material of the work reinforces the idea of the picture as a
great illusion!
