This original artwork “Retro cars” was created by the contemporary Russian artist Semakova Larisa  and is available for sale online.

Larisa Semakova’s painting “Retro Cars” is a lyrical still life in which the artist sings the praises of beauty, charm, and nostalgia for the good old days, capturing rusty retro cars. Using a saturated, yet muted color palette and the technique of Realism, she creates an atmosphere of calmness, tranquility, and some melancholy characteristic of those things that seem to have long been written off as scrap but still hold a piece of history, soul, and charm. It is not just an image of abandoned cars, but like a visual embodiment of the idea of the value of the past, the preservation of memory, and the fact that even in destruction you can find beauty.

At the center of attention of the painting is an old, rusty car, occupying almost all the space of the canvas. Its graceful forms, smooth curves, and traces of time left on the body attract the eye and create a feeling of nostalgia and romance. The artist carefully works out the texture of the metal, conveying its roughness, rust, and scuffs, creating a sense of realism and presence. The car seems to be a symbol of a bygone era, its style, its values, and its стремление to freedom and adventure.

A special feature of the painting is that the car is depicted against the backdrop of nature. The tall grass, overgrown around the car, seems to be a symbol of time, which relentlessly moves forward, erasing the traces of the past. The grass seems to be a witness to a bygone era, storing the memory of past owners and their adventures.

Another car, located in the distance, is also executed in the style of retro but is less noticeable.

The background of the painting is executed in muted brown and gray tones, creating a feeling of calmness and tranquility.

The artist uses the technique of Realism, focusing on the detailed rendering of each object and creating an overall impression of beauty hidden in ordinary things. Soft shadows, smooth color transitions, and careful elaboration of texture create a feeling of reality and presence.

Overall, the plot of the painting conveys a feeling of silence, peace, and nostalgia. The painting seems to invite the viewer to pause for a moment and admire the perfection of forms, feel the spirit of a bygone era, and be filled with love for history and antiquity.
