This original work «The source of joy» was created by contemporary Russian artist Ilgiz Murtazin and is available for purchase online.
Ilgiz Murtazin’s painting “The source of joy” is a deeply abstract piece, full of emotional tension and vivid bursts of color. The work is built on the contrast between a dark, rich background and light, chaotically arranged accents, fully reflecting the stated title, hinting at a sudden illumination or breakthrough of positive energy.
The dominant color of the canvas is a deep, dense turquoise and dark blue, creating a sense of depth, possibly water or a dark, mysterious space. This background is painted with active texture, where the brushstrokes lie diagonally, giving the composition movement.
In the center and several other points of the painting, there is an “explosion” of color. The artist uses thick impasto strokes of pure, bright pigments: lemon yellow, orange, white, purple, and even small flecks of red. These light spots seem to break through the blue mass, symbolizing joy itself or an illumination that cannot be contained.
The canvas is intersected by dark, thin, almost graphic lines that create the impression of cracks, branches, or energy flows connecting the multicolored areas. These lines structure the chaos and give the composition dynamic direction.
“The source of joy” is not a landscape, but rather a visualization of an inner state. Murtazin masterfully uses the conflict between the dark, dominant background (possibly symbolizing doubt or the mundane) and the bright, breaking sparks of light (joy), creating a powerful and memorable image.
This painting can be hung on the wall in your apartment, house, office, restaurant, or hotel, and it will become a beautiful decoration for your interior.
