Painting by Olena Koliesnik
35 x 35 cm • Oil
One of a kind
The most emotional and aggressive point of the journey. The environment falls apart into arrows and meteorites. This is the moment of attack by circumstances, where the only asset remains the will to survive. The Hero does not run away; he keeps his defenses, hardening his own structure in the epicenter of chaos. This is a visualization of extreme vulnerability that becomes invincibility.
The work is part of the series “Journey to…” — a series of five round canvases. The choice of the round shape of the canvas is a conscious departure from linear logic in favor of cyclicality. This is an exploration of a journey that has no final point, because its goal is the process itself.
At first it was a chaos of texture and color, then the Hero entered these viscous, hot or mystical environments.
These works worked as a tool for “level fusion,” where each step in depth becomes actually a step up.
