This original work «Memories» was created by contemporary Russian artist Elena Shkurnikova and is available for purchase online.
Elena Shkurnikova’s painting «Memories» is an atmospheric and lyrical canvas conveying the fragile and ephemeral state of memory. The artist creates an image of fleeting reality, where clear contours blend with blurred outlines, as if seen in a dream or in recollections.
At the center is the face of a man, depicted in close-up. It is painted in soft pastel tones, creating a feeling of tenderness and warmth. The man’s eyes are closed, as if he is lost in his thoughts or asleep. His facial expression is calm and peaceful, yet a slight sadness can be read in it.
The background for the face is a landscape, barely visible through a haze. Silhouettes of trees, people, and houses appear on the horizon. All elements of the landscape are blurred, as if they exist only in the man’s imagination. The colors are muted and pastel, creating a sense of distance and unreality of what is happening.
The painting technique is characterized by lightness and impressionism. Shkurnikova uses smooth, gentle brushstrokes to create a sense of volume and texture. She aims not for detailed drawing but rather to convey the overall impression of what is seen, leaving room for the viewer’s imagination.
The title of the painting — «Memories» — precisely conveys the main idea of the work: to capture the fragility and variability of memory, its ability to transform reality and create unique images. Memories, like fleeting shadows of the past, sometimes appear, sometimes disappear, leaving a light sadness and nostalgia in the soul.
Overall, Elena Shkurnikova’s «Memories» is a tender and touching portrait that evokes a feeling of empathy and nostalgia in the viewer. The painting reminds us of the importance of preserving memories, the value of the past, and the fragility of human life. It seems to invite the viewer to listen to their inner world, to look deep into memory, and find answers to their questions there. It is an ode to the past, its beauty, and its enduring significance in shaping our personality, captured on canvas.
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.
