Journey to the Inner Abode, Figurative original painting by Tetiana Pchelnykova

2023

About the Item

"‘Journey to the Inner Abode’ is a reflective acrylic and oil pastel painting that invites viewers on a metaphorical voyage to the core of their being, represented here by a woman carrying a house – the quintessential symbol of home. Accompanied by a loyal dog, symbolizing trust and fidelity, they traverse a path to their dwelling, signifying the timeless quest for self and belonging. This piece echoes the philosophical teachings that one's true home is within oneself, a sanctuary of the spirit. Drawing inspiration from the symbols of Kyivan Rus and Christianity, the artwork weaves a tapestry of cultural narratives with the Kolovrat, the Slavic symbol of the sun and eternal life, radiating in the background. The Tree of Life, laden with apples, stands tall – a testament to familial lineage and the nurturing of life that women traditionally embody. The earth itself is adorned with flowers depicted in graphic technique, each bloom a rooted footprint on this shared journey. The stylistic influence of Ana Mendieta can be felt in the intimate connection between human form and landscape, while the vivid yet serene color palette nods to the optimistic expressionism of Matisse. With light tones that symbolize hope and a better tomorrow, 'Journey to the Inner Abode' is not just a painting but a philosophical exploration of identity, home, and the paths we tread in search of our personal haven. It encourages a contemplation of our inner selves as the ultimate destination where one can find solace and meaning." This piece serves as a visual allegory that encompasses the artist's exploration of self-identification and the deep-rooted connection to one’s lineage and the spiritual journey towards understanding and peace.

  • Slumbering Spirit, Figurative original painting by Tetiana Pchelnykova
    Located in Zofingen, AG
    In the serene stillness of "Slumbering Spirit," part of my contemplative "Thoughts" series, I explore the profound quietude of rest. The painting captures a woman in repose, the very image of tranquility as she lies beneath the delicate branches of a young apple tree, her sleep undisturbed by the world's whispers. The ancient symbols etched upon her shoulder speak of "spirit," hinting at the unseen energy that animates us all, even in our most restful moments. This slumbering form is a sanctuary of peace, her dreams a hidden realm where the spirit roams free. Above her, the apple branches bow gently, a nod to the biblical Eve's apple, symbolizing knowledge, temptation, and the duality of innocence and awareness. It is a fruit laden with the weight of history, yet here it is presented anew, in a light untainted by the past's shadows. This work is an invitation to pause, to reflect on the spirit within and the nature that surrounds us, to find the sacred in the everyday. "Slumbering Spirit" is a celebration of the inner quiet that nourishes the soul and a recognition of the profound narratives that sleep can tell. ABOUT ARTIST: Tetiana Pchelnykova...

  • Interstice of Worlds, Figurative original painting by Tetiana Pchelnykova
    Located in Zofingen, AG
    From the new series " Self-awareness," we present "Interstice of Worlds," a painting that immerses the viewer in a realm of emotional resonance and symbolic representation of time. Crafted with a blend of oil and acrylic on canvas, it portrays a woman with intertwined hands, embodying a longing for the ineffable. Beside her sits a dog with a bowed head, in silent solidarity, sharing in the unspoken yearning of its owner. The backdrop of this scene is the symbolic collision of day and night, depicted through the lunar phases suspended in the night sky and a rainbow heralding the daylight. This not only reflects the passage of time but also the internal dualities of human nature, the eternal struggle between light and darkness that each of us faces. "Interstice of Worlds" evokes philosophical contemplation on how we perceive time and experience loss, our capacity for feeling and expressing emotions. The painting invites gallery visitors to a profound introspection and understanding of life's transitions. It dialogues between the inner world of the individual and the universal cycles, between personal longing and the collective sentiments of humanity." This piece is an expressive continuation of the thematic exploration of self-identification, viewing the woman not as a static symbol but as a dynamic being, living and breathing in the perpetual rhythm of the Universe.

  • Serenity of Essence, Figurative original painting by Tetiana Pchelnykova
    Located in Zofingen, AG
    In my latest work from the 'Thoughts' series, titled 'Serenity of Essence', I once again delve into the profound world of feminine reflections. On this 60x80 cm canvas, painted with acrylics, I depicted a seated young woman with a cat resting beside her. This image creates an atmosphere of tranquility and deep contemplation, characteristic of my series. The background of the painting reveals a view of hills and trees, the leaves of which are adorned with ornaments, adding sophistication to the composition. The symbol of infinity on the woman's shoulder is not just decorative; it symbolizes the endlessness of existence and unity with nature. The flowers and grasses in the meadow are depicted symbolically and graphically, creating a visual rhythm that engages and leads the viewer through various levels of perception. 'Serenity of Essence' is not just a painting; it is my perspective on feminine self-discovery and inner harmony. This canvas is an invitation for viewers to feel at one with nature, find peace in their thoughts, and discover the deep symbols of feminine existence. In this work, I once again demonstrate my vision and ability to transform philosophical themes into visual metaphors that resonate with the soul ABOUT ARTIST: Tetiana Pchelnykova...
