This original work «Portal» was created by contemporary Russian artist Denis Pianov and is available for purchase online.
Denis Pianov's painting «Portal» is not just an image of the ancient Armenian church of Arunes, but rather its transformed, expressive representation, inviting the viewer on a journey through time and space. The artist, working in a mixed technique of acrylic and oil on canvas, fills the architectural motif with deep meaning and emotional charge.
The main subject of the canvas is the church itself, the Arunes Church, also known as the All-Savior Monastery. Founded in the 11th century, this ancient monument, captured in the painting, takes on the features of a mystical portal. It is not just a historical building, but a kind of passage, an entry point into another dimension, into the past or perhaps the future. The architectural forms, though recognizable, are distorted by expression, as if time and history have left their mark on them, making them fluid and alive.
Pianov employs a technique characteristic of expressionism — intensifying the color palette and the dynamism of brushstrokes. Colors likely play a key role in conveying the atmosphere. Although specific shades are not mentioned in the description, it can be assumed that the artist uses rich, deep tones to emphasize the antiquity and mystery of the place, as well as contrasting colors to highlight the «portal» aspect.
The expressionist style allows the artist to express his subjective perception of the object rather than its photographic reproduction. Therefore, «Portal» is less an architectural study and more an emotional experience connected with this place. The Arunes Church, presented as a portal, may symbolize the connection of times, a place where past and present intertwine, opening new perspectives.
The size of the painting makes it intimate, yet sufficiently impressive to attract attention and immerse the viewer in the atmosphere of the work. Denis Pianov's «Portal» is an invitation to a dialogue with history, architecture, and one’s own inner world, to the search for hidden meanings and the discovery of new doors, both literal and metaphorical.
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.
