This original artwork “Safari” was created by the contemporary Russian artist Vladimir Kuchinskiy  and is available for sale online

Vladimir Kuchinskiy’s painting “Safari” is a bright and dynamic composition in which realistic images of animals are combined with surreal elements, creating an atmosphere of humor, grotesque, and some irony. The artist uses a rich color palette and a detailed painting style to convey a sense of energy, life, and African exoticism characteristic of safaris. It’s not just an image of animals, but like a caricature of tourist adventures, full of comic situations and hidden meanings.

At the center of attention of the painting is the face of a man dressed in the typical costume of a traveler-explorer. Wide open eyes, a protruding tongue, and lips stretched in amazement express a full range of emotions: fear, surprise, delight, and possibly some madness. The man’s face, like a frame, is framed by four squares, each of which depicts one of the animals that inhabit Africa.

In the upper left square is a zebra, in the upper right - a rhinoceros. Their calm, imperturbable gazes contrast with the traveler’s face, distorted by horror. The zebra and the rhinoceros, as if symbolizing wildlife and its indifference to human experiences.

In the lower left square is an ostrich head, in the lower right - an elephant head. Their surprised faces seem to add comic to what is happening, making the viewer smile and think about the absurdity of the situation. The elephant’s head seems to remind us that a safari is not just entertainment but an invasion of the world of wildlife, which can have unpredictable consequences.

In the lower part of the painting, beneath the traveler’s face, you can see two hippos sticking their heads out of the water. Their huge teeth and impudent gazes create a feeling of danger and comic. The hippos seem to be lurking for the traveler, preparing to attack him at any moment.

The background of the painting is executed in bright, saturated tones. The combination of green, yellow, red, and blue creates a feeling of the African sun and heat. The background gives the painting dynamism and picturesqueness and also emphasizes its expressive nature.

The artist uses the technique of Realism with elements of Grotesque and Caricature, focusing on the detailed drawing of each object and creating an overall impression of absurdity and unreality of what is happening. Exaggerated facial features, bright colors, and unusual combinations create a feeling of comic disorder and make the viewer laugh and reflect.
