This original artwork “Desire” was created by the contemporary Russian artist Polina Zhadko and is available for sale online.
Polina Zhadko’s painting “Desire” is a minimalist, yet profoundly symbolic abstract work in which the artist explores the theme of attraction, drawing-in, and at the same time, the danger lurking in strong desires. Using a limited color palette and clear geometric forms, she creates an atmosphere of tension, foreboding, and some anxiety characteristic of the moment when a person stands on the threshold of the unknown, succumbing to the call of attraction. It is not just an abstract composition, but like a visual metaphor for the nature of desire, its power, and the risks it entails.
At the center of the composition, two main elements dominate: a dark circle in the upper part of the painting and a triangle pointing upwards at the bottom. These elements, despite their simplicity, possess a powerful symbolic charge.
The dark circle, located above the triangle, creates a feeling of a “point of attraction.” Its color, almost black, is associated with mystery, the unknown, and perhaps some danger. The circle, as a geometric figure, symbolizes wholeness, completion, and eternity, which may indicate that desire is something fundamental and enduring.
The triangle, located in the lower part of the painting, is executed in a saturated, textured red color. Red here is the color of passion, energy, strength, and at the same time, danger. The triangle, pointing upwards, creates a sense of movement, aspiration, and uplift, but its shape also resembles a funnel or an abyss into which one can fall. The texture of this triangle, created by thick strokes of paint, adds a sense of materiality and depth.
The color palette of the painting is limited to the green and grayish hues of the background, which serve to emphasize the brightness of the central figures.
The background of the painting, executed in blurred, muted shades of green, seems to be a fog or veil that envelops the figures. Green here may symbolize life, hope, or natural force, but its blurriness creates a feeling of uncertainty and instability.
The composition of the painting is structured in such a way that the viewer’s gaze is directed from the dark circle to the red triangle, creating a feeling of downward movement, towards the abyss.
