This original work «On the edge» was created by contemporary Russian artist Maxim Tsukanov and is available for purchase online.
The painting by Maxim Tsukanov, “On the edge”, is an explosion of color and form, capturing a tense moment on the border between two worlds. The artist uses his signature expressive techniques and sharp color contrasts to convey a sense of transition, anticipation, and perhaps some existential anxiety.
The composition of the painting is clearly divided into zones, yet filled with strong dynamics. In the foreground, occupying the lower half of the canvas, dense, saturated shadows and cool, deep tones prevail — lilac, violet, and blue.
Beyond this border space, a landscape unfolds bathed in bright, almost unreal light. There is a strong feeling of sunlight coloring the sky and distant objects in anxious orange and reddish hues. This contrasts with the dark shadows in the foreground, creating a sharp color conflict characteristic of post-impressionism and fauvism.
On the left, part of a building is visible, rendered in reddish-brown tones, giving the composition a sense of human presence, yet these structures seem abandoned or immersed in deep shadow. On the right and center, the outlines of trees with thin, curved branches can be seen, their reddish contours contrasting with the bright blue background, which may symbolize water or simply illuminated sky.
Maxim Tsukanov’s painting technique is distinguished by boldness and freedom. The brushstrokes are broad and impasto, the lines sharp, imparting the image with strong energy and immediacy. The artist does not strive for photographic accuracy, preferring to convey the emotional experience of what is seen.
«On the edge» is a painting about a moment of choice, about what lies on the border of the known and the unknown. The contrast of light and shadow here is not only a pictorial device but also a metaphor for an inner state: the struggle between calm shadow and bright, even aggressive light of open space.
This painting can be hung on the wall in your apartment, house, office, restaurant, or hotel, and it will become a wonderful decoration for your interior. You can buy the painting «On the edge» online, sized 45 x 72 cm, with secure delivery to the address you specify.
