TEA TIME

Sometimes I come up with artworks as if I were making a movie. That is, I see my characters, I understand them, but I tell my visual story in one frame. Since this is a painting, it has its own laws: to collect all the time in an instant and find such an image so that the viewer himself can imagine all the possible options for the development of the plot. Elegantly dressed young woman sits in a white chair holding a cup of tea in her hand. Perhaps she and her friends came to drink tea and chat in a cafe or tea house, because in the window you can read the name of one of the famous English teas. The artwork is painted by imagination. In connection with it, many beautiful associations appear, including personal ones. I painted this artwork, trying to find the personal touch of the character through movement, gesture, color, clothes. Here, as in many of my paintings, the influence of the style of the 30s is noticeable: a clear line, local color relationships, even the character and clothes of the models remind that time. The painting was done in combination of noble gray and blue, white and old red with ocher by palette knife and brush.
