Artwork Description

Far Way

36.0 x 43.0 cm

This colored pencil artwork blends surrealism, abstraction, and symbolism. The intricate, multi-colored patterns and flowing lines create a visual labyrinth that invites interpretation and reflection. The piece features several distinct elements: a man riding an insect holding a large mushroom, mysterious staircases, and arched structures that seem to open into other dimensions or worlds. These surreal details evoke a sense of dream-like wonder, as if we are witnessing a strange journey through the mind. The composition is layered with curved shapes and vibrant colors that give it an almost psychedelic feel. The shifting and overlapping forms, combined with elements such as faces in the tree branches and architectural shapes, suggest the artist is exploring themes of nature, the passage of time, and the blending of reality and imagination. As with the previous artwork, this piece bears the signature of Nina Valetova, further reinforcing her style that marries abstract symbolism with surrealist narrative. The inclusion of mythical or fantastical creatures and settings, paired with complex color interplay, creates a captivating and enigmatic scene, reflecting the artist's unique vision.
