This original work «Unknown to you unknown to me» was created by contemporary Russian artist Vadim Kolobovnikov and is available for purchase online.

Vadim Kolobovnikov’s painting “Unknown to you unknown to me” (Неведомое тебе, неведомое мне) is a journey into a world where reality blends with the subconscious, and familiar landscapes take on new, mysterious features. The title itself hints at something hidden, beyond understanding, a secret that can only be revealed in moments of deep immersion.

The canvas depicts a fantastic landscape reminiscent of a seashore or rocky terrain. The dominant colors are a bright, fiery orange background, likely symbolizing sunset or sunrise, as well as deep, rich blues and light blues representing the water’s surface or the sky. These contrasting colors create a sense of tension and attraction simultaneously, as if something grand and unexplored is unfolding before the viewer.

At the center of the composition are two figures resembling trees or unusual rock formations. Their shapes appear both familiar and alien. They seem to grow from the earth, reaching toward the sky, but their contours are complex and intertwined, creating an illusion of movement and transformation. These “trees” are painted in muted, earthy tones with bright, glowing specks, adding depth and volume.

The lower part of the painting is filled with abstract shapes resembling stones or boulders. They have irregular outlines and are painted in various shades of blue, gray, brown, and orange. These elements create the impression of a complex, multilayered landscape, where each stone has its own unique story. Their arrangement evokes a sense of depth and space, as if the viewer is standing on the shore, exploring the whimsical imprints of time.

The sun, depicted in the upper left corner, is a small but bright circle emitting light. It does not seek to dominate but gives the landscape completeness and emphasizes the mysterious atmosphere. Its presence may symbolize hope, a new day, or, conversely, the last glimmers of passing time.

“Unknown to you unknown to me” is a painting that offers no ready answers. It encourages contemplation and the search for personal meanings. In it, Vadim Kolobovnikov invites us to look into a world that exists parallel to ours, a world where forms and colors speak their own special language. This work is about the mysteries of nature, the unexplored facets of our own “self,” and the infinite space of possibilities that always remains “unknown to you, unknown to me.”

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.

One of my favorite themes is the abstract landscape with an ephemeral terrain. Of course, there are many amazing places on our planet, but the artist’s imagination sometimes takes you so far away... After all, perhaps somewhere there exists a similar place that a person can reach, and we will gain new knowledge that will make us stronger.
