The view from the Window, oil on canvas, 80x60 cm, 2009
Amazing art work, made by Saint-Petersburg artist Armen Gasparyan, impresses the viewer with its expressiveness, colors and symbolism.
The painting was made in the unique sfumato technique, created by Leonardo da Vinci many years ago. It is special painting technique for softening the transition between colors, mimicking an area beyond what the human eye is focusing on. It is most often used by making subtle gradations that do not include lines or borders, from areas of light to areas of dark.
The art work has its own subtext, understood by its author. It makes the viewer think of life and being. The main message of the artist is reflections on the theme of love and hate, good and evil, death and birth of a person.
