This original work «Dont look» was created by contemporary Russian artist Elena Shkurnikova and is available for purchase online.
The painting by Elena Shkurnikova «Не смотри» is a powerful and emotionally charged piece that touches on themes of pain, vulnerability, and the desire for oblivion. The artist creates a surreal image where hands covering the eyes become a symbol of unwillingness to see, accept, or remember.
At the center of the composition is a person's face covered by hands. The hands, painted in warm earthy tones, are pressed tightly against the eyes as if the person is trying to shut out the outside world. Their position evokes a sense of intense, possibly painful experience. The face, painted in cold pale gray tones, appears tense and suffering.
The fabric the figure is dressed in, painted in white and gray tones, creates a feeling of mourning or solitude. It seems to envelop the person, protecting them from the outside world but at the same time isolating them from it.
The background of the painting is blurred and abstract, rendered in soft pastel tones. It does not distract from the main subject but rather enhances its drama. Light pink and blue shades hint at possible memories or dreams haunting the person.
The painting technique is expressive and emotional. Shkurnikova uses broad, confident brushstrokes, creating a sense of movement and tension. The colors in the painting are contrasting yet harmoniously combined, emphasizing the complexity and contradictions of the depicted emotions.
The title of the painting — «Не смотри» — is a direct appeal to the viewer. This appeal can be interpreted in various ways: as a request not to see someone else's pain, as a desire to forget the past, or as a call for self-reflection and immersion into one's inner world.
Overall, Elena Shkurnikova’s «Не смотри» is a profound and multifaceted work of art that evokes strong emotions and prompts reflection. The painting addresses themes of pain, suffering, oblivion, and the desire for solitude. It reminds us that each person carries their own world full of secrets and experiences, and sometimes the best way to cope with pain is to close one’s eyes and retreat inward. It is a visual embodiment of the urge to hide from the outside world when reality becomes too heavy.
This painting can be hung on the wall in your apartment, house, office, restaurant, or hotel, and it will become a beautiful decoration for your interior.
