Title: Oil painting Melody to balance Vadim Aksenov

Description: №AAA5009 The oil painting on wood titled "Melody to balance" evokes a haunting sense of rhythm and fragility, capturing the viewer’s imagination through abstracted forms and textured strokes. At first glance, The painting appears to depict a group of figures under a skeletal architectural structure, moving or perhaps even dancing in unison. Their elongated limbs and varied postures seem to echo the ebb and flow of a musical score—silent yet pulsing with emotion. The structure above them, possibly a roof or stage, leans forward precariously, lending the entire composition a delicate tension, as if it might collapse or rise at any momen To the right of the figures, a solitary object sits in the lower foreground—angular, dark, and ambiguous in form. It resembles a bench or perhaps a musical instrument, a piano abstracted to its essence. This solitary form casts a long shadow, echoing the elongated reflections of the dancing figures on the textured surface. Or a balance point in a composition built on tension and release. The color palette, rich in ochres, rust, sienna, and white, gives The painting a dreamlike warmth and aged beauty. These earth tones are punctuated by unexpected flashes of blue and yellow, giving life and light to the otherwise weighty composition. The layered impasto technique emphasizes movement and texture, suggesting the tactile qualities of earth, sand, and time-worn surfaces. The paint, applied thickly and with visible strokes, makes the scene feel alive, as though the figures are constantly shifting within their environment. The background is abstract and open, a vast field of space dominated by soft light and atmospheric hues. There is a fluidity to the backdrop, as if sky and earth are bleeding into each other, dissolving the distinction between solid ground and ephemeral air. This melting boundary enhances the sense of balance being precariously negotiated by the central figures—between presence and absence, movement and stillness, collapse and support.
