ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This large canvas I started in December 2021: reference was selected, canvas was prepared, a sketch in chalk was completed. But I couldn’t dare to start painting - I did not want to enter New Year with unfinished work. Therefore, I postponed it till January 2022. Three magnificent peonies are truly unique, because each was painted in a different manner: the brightest scarlet flower - the detailed one - was supposed to become the leader. So the remaining two should be made less noticeable. I was even in doubt whether to leave them unfinished - only the first layer. The upper flower looks quite graphic, due to the contrasting lines that follow the silhouettes of the petals. This is how my "Three of a Kind" were created. Additionally, my instagram audience helped me to choose the name for the artwork - I really appreciate it! “Three of a Kind”, January 2022. Oil on cotton / linen stretched canvas. 100x120 cm.

Inna Sumina is a Moscow-based self-taught emerging artist. «My paintings reflect my inner world, I would call it a «garden». What is this garden like? It is often abstract, a little bit chaotic or on the contrary - pretty much ordered, or even unpredictable, somewhat bright.. In my artworks I am ponding over the fleeting of time. The idea of seizing the moment is opposed to the pursuit of momentary pleasure in a consumer’s society. Awareness becomes means of slowing down and perceiveing the beauty of nature here and now. Using the images of flowers, I analyze the transience of life and draw a parallel between human life and the stages of a plant’s growth (luxuriance of blossoming - slow withering). Flowers in my paintings can be dramatic tended to destruction...or they can be fragrant and full of life, thus reflecting the ever-changing character of our days. I prefer black (dark) background for paintings: it helps me to emphasise how fragile and vulnerable is the soul of a flower, reveal its fleeting beauty, which strives to be noticed during these odd times. Thanks to the black tones of the background other colors become saturated while the whole image gains its structure. Using this dark, deep non-existence as a basis, I derive intuitive images which are recognized as silhouettes of flowers by the spectator.»
