Sisters Painting

"Sisters" - egg-tempera on gesso-board I've always been deeply moved and inspired by the subtle state of a special connection between people and nature. I'm deeply convinced that we all are an integral part of nature, and we speak the same language. I hope I never forget about it. 20"/20", 51/51 cm ___________ A couple of words about this work: - Aged surface looking like a piece of a time-worn wall, but clean and safe. With all the fine relief, bulges, and chips you can see and you can touch with your fingers. You can observe how the light glides beautifully over the surface, flickering subtly along the microcracks, flowing over the texture. - A piece of art you don't need to mess with - I don't paint right on the walls, the technique provides an opportunity to make portable and lightweight "fragments of walls". You can easily move and hang them as a usual picture. - Very damage-resistant thing. In 20 years, you'll need only to dust it off with a cloth, and it's like new again. My method is based on an old icon-making technique that gives amazingly durable surfaces. - This is a rather rare medium, in which only old-school artists work mainly. Besides, I combine several classical approaches in one to get the exact effect needed. ___________ The process is based on an old icon-making technique, which includes multiple stages: - preparing and priming the wooden board - egg tempera painting, and creating a beautifully aged surface - varnishing the ready fresco Working on this fresco, I used an unusual technique - shading with the thinnest brush with paint, superimposing many colors on top of each other. This made it possible to achieve the effect of a deep iridescent painterly color but at the same time the finest elaboration of details. ___________ This piece has been participated in: - "Yule" exhibition, Neologian Art Gallery, Redwood City, CA, 2018-2019 - RAW Art Show "Stellar", San Francisco, CA, October 2, 2019
