Pulsation of a second

Canvas, acrylic, 50 x 50 cm, 2025
This picture, part of the series "The main hero. Monologue" depicts a lush peony, blossomed in all its glory on a deep black background. The petals of the flower, made in delicate shades of pink and fuchsia, with bright accents of yellow-green in the core, demonstrate the subtlest transitions of light and shadow. A detailed study of each petal creates a sense of movement and volume, emphasizing its velvety texture and fragility.
The work conveys a fleeting moment of maximum blossoming, captured with astonishing realism.
This is the appeal of the flower to our heart: see how victorious and majestic life is when it breaks through to the light. Divine order triumphing over emptiness.
