This original artwork "4 faces of wisdom" was created by the contemporary Austrian artist Walerij Baranow and is available for sale online.
Walerij Baranow's painting is an expressive blend of painting and sculptural forms on a wooden base (plywood). Four Buddha heads are depicted against a gold-plated background, here and there covered with deliberately rough brushstrokes of scarlet and blue paint. Three of them are plaster, painted in rich, pure colors: pink, blue, and orange. Each plaster element casts a noticeable shadow, enhancing the illusion of depth and adding layers to the composition.
The fourth head, the largest and most central in the composition, is painted in oil on the plywood itself. In its depiction, the artist uses complex color transitions, soft highlights, and shadows, conveying not only form but also volume and a light-air environment. This painted element seems to unite all three figures around itself, becoming a unique focal point for contemplation.
Rough brushstrokes and cracks on the gold background contrast with the smooth, perfectly sculpted surfaces of the plaster figures. Red and blue accents in the background highlight the artist's unique vision, adding energy, modernity, and expressiveness to the work.
The painting seems to engage in a dialogue between classical Eastern culture—through images of Buddha—and contemporary art, combining different techniques and materials. The abundance of color, the play of textures, and the fusion of the real and the illusory prompt the viewer to reflect on forms of spirituality, identity, and the perception of reality in our time.
This painting can be hung on the wall of your apartment, house, office, restaurant, or hotel and will be a wonderful decoration for your interior. You can buy online the artwork "4 faces of wisdom" measuring 80 x 60 cm with secure shipping to your location!
