This original work «Crossing borders» was created by contemporary Russian artist Sveta Kournikova and is available for purchase online.
Sveta Kournikova's painting «Crossing borders» is a minimalist yet expressive graphic piece that explores themes of transition, overcoming, freedom, and personal choice. The artist, using a simple technique — charcoal or pencil on paper — and a limited achromatic palette, creates an atmosphere of tension, anxiety, and at the same time hope, characteristic of the moment when a person decides to take an important step and leaves their comfort zone. This is not just a silhouette image but a visual embodiment of the process of transformation, renunciation of the old, and striving for the new.
The painting’s distinct feature is its minimalism and conciseness. The artist rejects unnecessary details and embellishments, focusing on the core idea and conveying an emotional state.
The focal point of the canvas is a figure crossing a conditional border. Its silhouette, drawn with quick, careless strokes, seems to express the dynamics of movement and a sense of urgency. The person leaves the area of darkness and moves toward the light, which may symbolize renouncing the past and striving for the future.
The border itself, marked by vertical lines, is not clear or definite. It appears blurred, ephemeral, and symbolizes not so much a physical barrier as internal doubts, fears, and stereotypes that hinder a person on the path to self-realization.
The black-and-white color scheme enhances the sense of drama and tension. The contrast between light and shadow emphasizes the complexity of choice and the necessity of making important decisions.
The artist uses an expressive graphic technique, emphasizing the transmission of emotional states and creating an overall impression.
Overall, the painting’s narrative conveys feelings of anxiety, hope, and the pursuit of freedom. This canvas is about movement, choice, and the idea that only by crossing borders can one find oneself and discover one’s path in life.
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.
