Relatively Blue, triptych "Color Harmony"
Painting by Olena Koliesnik
31 x 41 cm • Watercolour Paper, Watercolor
One of a kind
Is harmony possible when everything around is collapsing?
The blue color of this work is my immersion in the unconscious, an attempt to find a point of support in my own depth, which at the same time scares and saves from losing control. The hero is fixed by a stencil print in a white circle, limited by an invisible wall.
“The whirlpool of thoughts was just devouring me. That’s why I became quiet, motionless, and hid — and life continued.”
In this work, I am looking for the silence that is enveloped by a storm when an intense struggle continues inside.
The works in the triptych are independent, but together they reveal the idea of Iten’s primary colors, to which I turned to find harmony and its proportions. All works in the triptych can be purchased separately.
Note: The painting is from the section “Stupor” (freeze reaction) from the series “Solomon’s Paradox” — 18 works created at the intersection of psychology, about reptilian survival instincts and the artist’s real history of emigration.
