"Yin-Yang" (Male and Female) The painting is done in acrylic on canvas, 90*60 cm, transported without stretching in a tube. It can be used in the interior both framed and unframed.
Description of the image and symbolism
• The composition is divided into two parts — the right (masculine) and the left (feminine) — which do not oppose but complement each other, like two poles of a single unified force.
• Right side: pepper and a book — contrasting yet related symbols. Pepper represents protection and masculinity, the book symbolizes wisdom and knowledge. The man as a guide pointing the way — energy of action and direction.
• Left side: black cat — the archetype of "Mother-Darkness" (and also reads as "unturnable"), embodying Kali and Durga in one animal — the power of creation-protection and destruction-purification. The cat sits against the background of hanging laundry — a symbol of everyday life and the hearth; here the divine and the earthly merge in one image.
• In the center of the composition, light and shadows on the curtains work as a connecting axis, where the very principle of yin-yang manifests: light and darkness, protection and care, knowledge and intuition.
The painting is executed in a modern decorative style with elements of naive and illustrative manner: flat colors, clear contours, patterned fragments (curtains, tablecloth, pattern on the vase).
• Color scheme — a harmonious combination of pastel tones (lilac, mint, beige) and bright accents (raspberry-red pepper fruits, deep black silhouette of the cat, warm wood of the window). Contrasts of cool and warm create dynamics and a sense of depth without complex texture.
• Light and shadow solutions — carefully thought-out shadows from the curtains and plants add rhythm and emphasize the domestic intimacy of the scene.
The mood of the work is calm, contemplative, with a slight mystical undertone. It is simultaneously cozy and evokes associations with ancient archetypes, thus stimulating reflection and conversation.
• The painting serves as a focal point: attracting the eye, setting the tone of the room, and filling it with a sense of protection (pepper, guide) and homely warmth (cat, hanging laundry).
• Energetically — it balances the space: suitable both for a personal office or library (emphasizing the theme of knowledge and path) and for a living room or bedroom (creating coziness and a sense of security).
Interior tips
• Best combinations — neutral walls (ivory, light powder, soft gray-beige) or an accent wall in mint-turquoise/lilac tones.
• Materials and textures: natural wood, ceramics, textiles with geometric and small patterns will resonate well with the painting’s patterned elements.
• Lighting: soft, directional lighting from the side will create beautiful shadows and highlight the rhythm of the curtains and plants; spot lighting from above will enhance the decorative effect.
• Suitable for interiors in styles such as: modern classic, Scandinavian eclecticism, boho-chic, modern minimalism with bright accents.
The unique dialogue painting "Yin-Yang" is a combination of homely warmth and archetypal power. Its vivid colors and clear forms will become an expressive centerpiece of any interior, and its symbolism — a source of inspiration and inner balance. An excellent choice for those who appreciate artistic narrative and depth of meaning in everyday space.
