Painting by Olena Koliesnik
31 x 41 cm • Watercolour Paper, Watercolor
One of a kind
How to fulfill the advice that I easily give to others, but I myself am only learning to implement?
This is the essence of Solomon’s Paradox.
In this work, the space around finally becomes clean, and my “bubble of isolation” is painted with vivid color gradients. From above, as if through a porthole, another figure penetrates the space of the circle.
For me, this is not a victory and not a happy ending. It is only an opportunity to make an effort — either to go towards this movement, or to return to the circle of original reactions again.
This is a moment of choice: to stay in a safe cage or to take a risk and open up to the world again.
Again. Again and again again.
Note: The final work of the “Stupor” section of the “Solomon’s Paradox” series. "Solomon's Paradox" - 18 works created at the intersection of psychology, about reptilian survival instincts and the real history of the artist's emigration.
