The artwork titled “Things you can’t see” is a creative expression by artist Ekaterina Belukhina, completed in the year 2022. Employing mediums of acrylic and oil on canvas, this piece dimensions at 17.7 by 11.8 inches. It explores themes of religion within the genre, and it is representative of fine art as an art movement.
The artwork presents a complex interplay of colors and textures that are suggestive of a figure shrouded in undefined forms. The use of color is both bold and subtle, with strokes of vivid blues and soft earth tones blending and overlapping, depicting what appears as a partial image of a face. While the subject is partially obscured or melds into the background, the viewer’s eye is drawn to the center where hints of human features are visible, creating a sense of intimacy and mystery.
The composition is alive with dynamic brushstrokes, the artist having intentionally left some areas lightly touched by paint, while in others, the pigment has been applied with thick, impasto techniques. The contrast of the heavier paint application with the more delicately treated surfaces results in a richly textured work that invites contemplation.
Overall, the artwork subtly challenges the viewer to engage with what is unseen and to interpret the careful balance of concealment and revelation that characterizes this spiritual and contemplative piece.
