In this painting I have woven a story of self-analysis and mystery under the gaze of enigmatic, bold hues. Bright colors bring this story to life, the lady’s identity is hidden by a blindfold, hinting at the invisible pressures and decisions she is weighing. Often a woman needs to trust her intuition to make an important decision in life. Today, when the boundaries between good and evil are erased, a woman should listen to her inner world and not pay attention to external circumstances. I dedicated the series of works “Lady” to these ideas, where all the stories are about choice, where the choice is always different: sometimes difficult, often interesting and sometimes pleasant. Some heroines from this series live in a complex reality, and some in a fairy-tale colorful world. The playful style of this work contrasts with the contemplative pose, and the bright chess pieces and fantasy hands add a layer of surreal intrigue.
