It's not so bad now
Painting by Lana Korolievskaia
80 x 60 cm • Canvas, Oil
Location:
Dnipro, Ukraine
Big confusion rules the world, but tell yourself: it's not so bad now." - the inscription states. The lines are arranged in a circle, and the words are hard to read. This is done in order to express the chaos of today's life. There are difficult times in the history now. Restrictions have robbed people of the right to do the usual things, questioned the very fact of our physical survival. In this picture, the author uses the circular rhythm of lines, expressing the cyclical nature of the processes of being. The death of empires, peoples, epidemics, world wars - all this happened more than once. But humanity always revived like a phoenix. Without shadow, there is no light. The life-affirming painting of the artist gives faith and a positive attitude. Semantic emphasis in the picture is on the second part of the quote. Author points out that you need to be able to see the good, do not indulge in despondency, because the world always is changing for the better.
