This original work «Series Tenderness: Ivanova, Petrova, Sidorova» was created by contemporary Russian artist Stepan Koren and is available for purchase online.
The series by Stepan Koren “Tenderness: Ivanova, Petrova, Sidorova” – is not just portraits, but deeply symbolic pieces where the most ordinary names become carriers of entire stories, emotions, and states. The artist invites us to view the world through the prism of tenderness, showing how simple images can carry a huge emotional charge.
The central element of each piece is the image which, despite its minimalism, evokes strong associations. In the foreground are three figures that seem more like archetypes than specific individuals. They resemble female silhouettes holding children. These figures, drawn with fine graphic lines, evoke a sense of vulnerability, care, and deep attachment. Their halos, like nimbuses, give them a sacred status, emphasizing the importance of motherhood and care.
In the background, there are symbols that add depth and layers to the painting. Bonfires and rising smoke may symbolize warmth, hearth, dreams, or, conversely, the fleeting nature of time. The decorative ornament of ovals with dots, reminiscent of a starry sky or fabric patterns, adds decoration but can also be connected to the idea of cyclicality, repetition, and eternity.
Stepan Koren uses a minimalist approach, focusing on the essential. He does not overload the work with details, allowing the viewer to imagine the story and fill in the gaps with their own associations. The use of gray, muted tones as the main background creates a feeling of calmness and intimacy, emphasizing the play of lines and symbols.
The series «Tenderness: Ivanova, Petrova, Sidorova» is an exploration of fundamental human values such as love, care, and family. The names «Ivanova», «Petrova», «Sidorova», being the most common in the Russian language, become universal symbols that can refer to any woman, any mother, any keeper of the hearth. The artist shows that true tenderness and depth of feelings are hidden not in extravagance, but in the simplest, everyday moments and images. These are works that touch the soul deeply, prompting reflection on the eternal and on what makes us human.
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.
