This original artwork “The Bright Blue Bridge” was created by the contemporary Russian artist Polina Goretskaya and is available for sale online.
Polina Goretskaya’s painting “The Blue Bridge” is a bright and atmospheric work celebrating one of the most recognizable symbols of St. Petersburg. Executed in an expressive, impasto manner, the work conveys not only the architectural grandeur of the place, but also the unique weather of the Northern Capital.
Dominating the center of the composition is the majestic silhouette of St. Isaac’s Cathedral with its golden dome, which, despite the overcast sky, is a source of inner light on the canvas. The architectural forms are conveyed in a generalized, but recognizable enough way, which allows you to immediately identify the place of action.
The bridge itself stretches out in front of the cathedral. The artist pays special attention to its stone parapets, which, covered with a layer of snow and ice, create a feeling of cold and winter dampness. It is here, on the bridge, that the main plot accent takes place: under the canopy of a bright, blue umbrella, a figure of a pedestrian takes shelter. This catchy, saturated blue color becomes the emotional center of the painting, contrasting with the prevailing gray, beige, and ocher tones of the winter city.
Movement in the picture is conveyed through energetic, thick brushstrokes characteristic of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. This is not smooth academic painting, but rather a fixation of a fleeting impression: cars passing over the bridge, unclear silhouettes of people, clouds of steam or smoke rising into the frosty air.
The background of the sky, executed in pastel, restrained tones, perfectly emphasizes the general atmosphere. It is not bright, but rather dull and humid, typical for the St. Petersburg off-season or winter, which enhances the feeling of coziness and security emanating from the bright umbrella.
Polina Goretskaya’s “The Blue Bridge” is an ode to the spirit of the city, where the greatness of history (the Cathedral) meets the bustle and everyday life (movement on the bridge). The painting invites the viewer to slow down, feel the coolness, hear the noise of the city, and appreciate the beauty of this recognizable but ever-changing cityscape. The bright blue accent symbolizes hope and resilience in the face of grayness.
