Description
All originals are accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and signed by the artist.
A vibrant and whimsical scene depicts a fantastical landscape filled with colorful fish, floating hot air balloons, and mushroom-like trees. A central figure appears to be looking at the surreal elements unfolding around them. The sky is teeming with planets and aquatic creatures as if blending ocean and space.
In this canvas, Elena Gantchikova invites us into her inner world, where fantasy and reality merge into one. It is a self-portrait of the artist, captured in bright colors and surreal images.
We see a deep blue space where the sky and the ocean form a single background, dotted with stars and planets that coexist with marine life. In the center of the composition, a huge yellow airship hovers - a symbol of dream and freedom, to which colorful ribbons with balloons stretch, like threads connecting the artist with her fantasies.
Under the airship, a surreal landscape unfolds, full of bizarre shapes and bright colors. Mushroom trees, flowers, winding paths - all these are elements of Elena's inner world, her experiences and inspiration.
At the bottom of the picture, as if on the edge of this magical world, we see a fragile female figure playing the violin. This is Elena herself, immersed in music, which is a source of inspiration for her and a way to express her feelings.
Stylistic analysis:
The painting is executed in Elena Gantchikova's recognizable style, combining elements of naive art, surrealism and decorative painting. Bright, saturated colors, smooth lines, rounded shapes - all this creates a feeling of lightness, airiness and magic.
Concept:
This painting is an attempt by Elena Gantchikova to show the viewer her inner world, where dreams and reality are intertwined into a single whole. This is an invitation to a journey through her fantasies, where music, art and nature merge in harmonious unity.
History:
Elena Gantchikova, inspired by the ideas of surrealism and naive art, creates her own unique world, in which her inner world and dreams of harmony are reflected. This painting is her personal manifesto, an attempt to share her vision of the world with the viewer.
