The painting part is executed in oil on wood. The base for the "eye" is a canvas covered with a silver potala.
This original artwork “The Observer (David)” was created by the contemporary Russian artist Katerina Borodavchenko and is available for sale online.
Katerina Borodavchenko’s painting “Observer (David)” is a minimalist, yet strikingly expressive work. The title alludes to the biblical David, which adds depth and philosophical resonance to the image.
At the center of the composition is an eye, but not as realistic as in the previous work. It is more reminiscent of an antique sculpture made of marble or plaster. Clear, concise lines, the play of light and shadow create a sense of volume and relief. The gaze of “Observer (David)” seems colder and more detached than the gaze of “Observer”. In it, one can read not only attentiveness and concentration, but also inner strength, wisdom, and perhaps some severity.
The monochromatic palette enhances the effect of asceticism and spirituality. The absence of color allows the viewer to focus on the shape, texture, and expressiveness of the gaze. Gray and silver shades create a sense of calm, silence, and eternity, which echoes the image of David as a symbol of strength of spirit and faith.
The oval frame surrounding the eye enhances the effect of detachment and creates the feeling that the viewer is looking at “Observer (David)” through a window or lens. The textured surface of the frame gives the work additional depth and volume.
The choice of the name David is no accident. David is a biblical hero who defeated Goliath thanks to his faith, courage, and dexterity. His image is a symbol of struggle, victory over oneself and circumstances, strength of spirit, and faith in justice. “Observer (David)” seems to be a gaze that observes this world, evaluates it, and is ready to enter the fight for his ideals.
Overall, Katerina Borodavchenko’s painting “Observer (David)” is a profound and multifaceted work that makes the viewer think about eternal questions, about the nature of man, about the strength of spirit, and about the meaning of life. The minimalist execution, monochromatic palette, and reference to the image of David create an atmosphere of asceticism, spirituality, and inner strength.
