This original artwork “Steps” was created by the contemporary Russian artist Nadya Prades and is available for sale online.
Nadya Prades’ painting “Steps” is an atmospheric study capturing the fleeting moment of movement, the transition from one state to another, both physically and metaphorically. The artist uses a restrained, almost monochrome palette and emphasizes linearity and geometry to create a sense of distance, upward aspiration, and the fleeting nature of human contacts.
The composition is built around the vertical space of a staircase, occupying almost the entire plane of the painting. The steps receding upwards create a sense of perspective and movement, as if inviting the viewer to follow the people ascending.
Several figures can be seen on the staircase, moving in different directions. This fragmentation and lack of direct interaction between people emphasize the theme of loneliness and isolation, despite the shared space.
A man is depicted at the bottom of the staircase, climbing upwards. His silhouette, executed in dark tones, creates a sense of seriousness and purposefulness. He confidently strides up the steps, as if overcoming life’s obstacles.
A woman with a suitcase is located in the middle of the staircase, descending downwards. Her light clothing and softer silhouette create a sense of lightness and freedom. She seems to be leaving some place or stage of her life, embarking on a new journey.
More figures can be seen at the top of the staircase, as with the others, not interacting with each other.
A special feature of the painting is the emphasis on geometry and lines. The clear lines of the steps, railings, and walls create a sense of order and organization, contrasting with the chaotic movement of people. This interplay of contrasts emphasizes the duality of human existence: on the one hand, we strive for stability and order, and on the other, we are constantly in motion and searching.
The technique of execution of the painting is characterized by laconic and restraint. The artist uses a limited color palette consisting of various shades of gray, brown, and beige. Soft strokes and blurred contours create a feeling of haziness and uncertainty, as if the action is taking place in a dream or a memory.
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 “Steps” measuring 48 x 38 cm with secure shipping to your location.
