This original artwork “Look. How beautiful” was created by the contemporary Russian artist Nadya Prades  and is available for sale online.

Nadya Prades’ painting “Look. How beautiful” is a mesmerizing exploration of the boundaries between the human figure and the surrounding landscape, presented in a technique combining painting and, possibly, elements of decoration. The work immerses the viewer in an atmosphere of delicate beauty, mystery, and merging.

The composition is dominated by the figure of a woman whose body is fragmented and partially merged with the background. The absence of a head and a visible interruption of the torso deliberately shifts the focus from the personality to the overall impression and the idea itself. The figure’s skin is depicted in warm, bodily tones, contrasting with the palette of the rest of the canvas. The hands, depicted with striking realism and manicured nails, stand out against the general background, drawing attention to the gesture, which is probably the key to the title: they seem to invite the viewer to “look” at the surrounding beauty.

The main canvas, where clothing or background should be, is a vortex of soft, pastel tones resembling a mountain landscape or an abstract landscape painted in watercolor or very liquid oil paint. Gentle lilacs, pale greens, and ochre shades dominate here. This “clothing” or “background” is decorated with thin, shimmering dots or lines that may mimic beads, dew, or stardust. This creates a feeling of magic and fairytale.

The merging of figure and landscape is a key symbolic moment. The woman is not just standing against the backdrop of nature – she becomes it. This is a metaphor for the unity of man with the world, the dissolution of the personal “self” in the eternal beauty of the landscape. The gesture of the hand, as if pointing outwards, is an appeal to the viewer: stop, distract yourself from the details, look at the big picture, at this beauty.

The technique combines a realistic depiction of body parts with an impressionistic, almost abstract manner of depicting the background. This contrast between clarity and blur emphasizes the duality of perception: we seek specifics, but true beauty often lies in the elusive, atmospheric whole.

“Look. How beautiful” is a meditative work that calls for a conscious perception of the moment, for the recognition of beauty in the merging of form and formlessness, in man and nature.
