This original artwork “New Holland” was created by the contemporary Russian artist Sergey Bakin and is available for sale online.
Sergey Bakin's painting "New Holland" is not simply a landscape of a famous historical site in St. Petersburg, but rather an expressive and emotional reinterpretation of its architectural image and atmosphere. The artist rejects academic precision, using rich color and dynamic brushstrokes to convey his subjective, almost mystical, perception of this urban space.
The composition's center is dominated by the massive arch or vault of the famous New Holland building, but it is not rendered in the familiar brick or granite tones, but in a deep, almost burgundy or dark red. This warm, dramatic hue imbues the architecture with an unsettling and captivating quality, as if the building were glowing from within or engulfed in the flames of the setting sun, piercing the fog.
A riot of color rages around the central red volume. The painting's background contrasts the cool blue and turquoise tones of the sky and water with warm, golden and ochre patches depicting trees or reflections. The blue at the top of the canvas is rich, deep, almost black, creating a sense of evening or an approaching storm, heightening the drama of the scene.
Bakin's technique is characterized by powerful, free brushstrokes. The paint is applied thickly and textured, giving the canvas surface a tangible, energetic quality. The foreground elements, depicting thickets or coastal vegetation, are executed in the form of abstract, rapid strokes, adding movement and vibrancy to the landscape.
In Bakin's interpretation, "New Holland" becomes a symbol. It is not simply an island with historic warehouses, but a mysterious, powerful object, brimming with emotions and concealing deep secrets. The red color may be an allusion to the city's history, its passions and rebellions, or simply an expression of the artist's personal, passionate relationship with architecture.
Overall, Sergey Bakin's work is an expressive dialogue between form, color, and emotion. It compels the viewer not so much to recognize the familiar St. Petersburg skyline as to feel it—its power, its mysticism, and its inseparable connection with the sky and water.
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 “New Holland” measuring 60 x 80 cm with secure shipping to your location.
