Embark on a unique visual journey with Zakhar Shevchuk's semi-abstract still life, an evocative exploration of light and its transformative powers. At first glance, the painting appears to be dominated by a dark vase set against a gloomy backdrop. However, Zakhar masterfully shifts the focus from the object to its surrounding aura: a burst of bright, warm yellow sunlight emanating from a reflecting surface, likely a mirror. The sunlight serves as a beacon of hope and optimism, brilliantly contrasting the otherwise somber palette of dark grey, light blue, and ochre. The still life showcases Zakhar's signature techniques of "scratching" wet oil paint with the back of his brush to create thin white lines that outline objects and flowers. This unique method adds another layer of complexity, as it turns an abstract concept into a figurative work of art. The painting epitomizes the artist's knack for simplifying form while maintaining a balance between the figurative and abstract, true to his artistic statement.

Art, to me, is a profound exploration of the world that surrounds us - a journey of discovery, experience, and self-understanding. It is a medium through which I unravel the essence of things - their colors, forms, and the interplay between them. I believe in the power of simplicity, in the art of removing the excess and uncovering the necessary, much like a sculptor chisels away at stone. In my paintings, I strive to distill forms to their purest essence, reaching a point where nothing else can be removed without sacrificing meaning. The "necessary" elements, as I perceive them, remain, serving as conduits for my impressions and self-reflections on the subject at hand. My aim is not to depict something specific but rather to transfer the emotions and thoughts evoked by the object onto the canvas. I seek artistic forms that can boldly and vividly capture the essence of these feelings, rather than mere visual representation. In this pursuit, my work often exists on the precipice between figurative and abstract art - place where emotions take precedence over strict visual interpretation. Through my art, I invite viewers to embark on their own contemplative journeys, to interpret the subtleties and engage with the interplay of emotions and forms. Each brushstroke carries the weight of my perceptions, inviting you to join me in this exploration of the human experience.
