About the Item

Sunrise (Nude on Armchair 4) Part of my "Nude in Interior" series and part of Mixed Moods solo show, until September 29. Original painting. size 39x23in / 100x60cm . Shipped stretched, as it is, ready for hanging. Artist Statement "I started by painting interiors, being interested in space and perspective through my studies. These scenes evolved, when I added the human figure. I focused more on the human figure and its relation to the background. The human figure is more present than ever in my paintings now. As a woman artist I’ve been preoccupied with the female form and its imagery. One of my goals was to capture the solitary moments and the nude’s relation to the surrounding space. My interest turned from depicting the space to rendering the atmosphere and the scene as a whole, the feeling a woman adds to the environment: warmth, desire, joy, a feeling of power and control, or the opposite – sadness, despair. Here is a collection of figurative paintings, exploring the nudes in interior spaces, seeing the nudes from my perspective, as a woman artist, considering the physical and spiritual realities of a woman’s body, in a new level of intimacy. My paintings are the opposite of objectifying a woman’s or a man’s anatomy. Painted works, featuring female nudes and a also men nudes, in a reversal of the male-artist/female-muse pattern, validate the feminine experience, defining myself through it. I was interested in how one experiences the body in a sensual form, and later focused on my own body, as I experience it myself, looking into the mirror and reconnecting. My work challenges the tradition of the nude by capturing my point of view, the gaze of a female painter, by using photography, drawings, sketches, and painting on canvas, for, both physical and psychological exploration. My art tries to create a visual language for emotion, beauty, feelings of intimacy and in the same time autonomy, captured with paint and vivid colors. My intense interest in colour and the gestures of the brush strokes are the means I see and convey the subjects in space, as living, passionate beings." Paula Craioveanu

  • Slumbering Spirit, Figurative original painting by Tetiana Pchelnykova
    Located in Zofingen, AG
    In the serene stillness of "Slumbering Spirit," part of my contemplative "Thoughts" series, I explore the profound quietude of rest. The painting captures a woman in repose, the very image of tranquility as she lies beneath the delicate branches of a young apple tree, her sleep undisturbed by the world's whispers. The ancient symbols etched upon her shoulder speak of "spirit," hinting at the unseen energy that animates us all, even in our most restful moments. This slumbering form is a sanctuary of peace, her dreams a hidden realm where the spirit roams free. Above her, the apple branches bow gently, a nod to the biblical Eve's apple, symbolizing knowledge, temptation, and the duality of innocence and awareness. It is a fruit laden with the weight of history, yet here it is presented anew, in a light untainted by the past's shadows. This work is an invitation to pause, to reflect on the spirit within and the nature that surrounds us, to find the sacred in the everyday. "Slumbering Spirit" is a celebration of the inner quiet that nourishes the soul and a recognition of the profound narratives that sleep can tell. ABOUT ARTIST: Tetiana Pchelnykova...

  • Interstice of Worlds, Figurative original painting by Tetiana Pchelnykova
    Located in Zofingen, AG
    From the new series " Self-awareness," we present "Interstice of Worlds," a painting that immerses the viewer in a realm of emotional resonance and symbolic representation of time. Crafted with a blend of oil and acrylic on canvas, it portrays a woman with intertwined hands, embodying a longing for the ineffable. Beside her sits a dog with a bowed head, in silent solidarity, sharing in the unspoken yearning of its owner. The backdrop of this scene is the symbolic collision of day and night, depicted through the lunar phases suspended in the night sky and a rainbow heralding the daylight. This not only reflects the passage of time but also the internal dualities of human nature, the eternal struggle between light and darkness that each of us faces. "Interstice of Worlds" evokes philosophical contemplation on how we perceive time and experience loss, our capacity for feeling and expressing emotions. The painting invites gallery visitors to a profound introspection and understanding of life's transitions. It dialogues between the inner world of the individual and the universal cycles, between personal longing and the collective sentiments of humanity." This piece is an expressive continuation of the thematic exploration of self-identification, viewing the woman not as a static symbol but as a dynamic being, living and breathing in the perpetual rhythm of the Universe.
