The original work "I saw love of life in the mirror" is by contemporary Austrian artist Walerij Baranow and is available online.
Valerij Baranow’s painting “I saw love of life in the mirror” is an abstract composition in which the artist explores themes of self-knowledge, inner experiences, and the joy of being. Using a bright and dynamic color palette and an expressive manner of painting, he creates an atmosphere of energy, optimism, and some anxiety characteristic of a person who is in the process of self-discovery and realizing the value of their life. It’s not just a set of color spots and brushstrokes, but a visual embodiment of the inner world, filled with feelings, emotions, and contradictions.
At the center of attention of the painting is a chaotic at first glance interweaving of color spots executed in various shades of red, yellow, green, and blue. These colors seem to symbolize various aspects of the human personality, its passions, dreams, hopes, and fears. The artist uses energetic brushstrokes to convey movement, dynamics, and the continuity of life.
A special feature of the painting is the absence of clear forms and contours. The artist focuses on texture, dynamics, and color combinations, creating a sense of blurriness and elusiveness. It seems that the image is constantly changing, flowing from one state to another, as if reflecting the changeability and fluidity of life.
In the reflection, on one side, you can see the muzzle of an animal. Most likely, a bear whose clawed paw is about to overtake an unwary traveler. On the other side, the picture is lighter. It seems that something positive comes from there.
The artist uses the technique of abstract expressionism, focusing on conveying the emotional state and creating an overall impression of strength, energy, and chaos. Bright colors, dynamic brushstrokes, and unusual combinations create a feeling of an artificial world in which a person tries to find their place, understand themselves, and find harmony with the surrounding world.
Overall, the plot of the painting conveys a feeling of anxiety, hope, and the striving for self-knowledge. The painting seems to invite the viewer to look into their inner world.
