Before The Fight Painting

From the series ABYSM. BEFORE THE FIGHT: I didn't know that there was no reason to fight. Everybody will know it soon. ---- Collection of Paintings exhibited on Solo show "ABYSM" in gallery “Bastejs”, Riga, Latvia. Series contains several abstract landscapes made in a variety of mediums and methods – layering natural and synthetic pigments, textural pastes, metal leaf and varnishes. ---- I had a recurrent dream in which I would fall helplessly into a blue and silent abysm: the depth of strange waters ruled by dazzling anguish. In this abysm the anguish temptingly glimmers and invites us to languish within it. If I have enough breath for few moments to observe this strange underworld – it’ll be complete, incredibly complex and absolutely alien. I’ll be grabbing the air desperately as soon as I come to the surface, but moments later I’ll risk everything and dive again. ---- This artwork is a painted on high quality canvas and is sold unframed. The surface has reliefs and textures protected with special varnishes. Different light sources can give different effect. Signed and dated on back.
