Description
"Dreaming" by Vitaly Duhnevich is a poetic and introspective work that captures the moment between wakefulness and dreams. The central figure, wrapped in a surreal, almost ethereal shroud of soft textures and flowing colors, emerges from a misty background that blurs the boundaries between the physical world and the imagination. The face, calm and contemplative, seems to float in a cocoon of blue, green, and yellow hues-suggesting both protection and introspection. The white feathery shapes surrounding the head evoke associations with sleep, snow, or even a crown of thoughts. The entire composition exudes a dreamlike stillness, where time feels suspended. Through this painting, the artist invites the viewer to enter a meditative state, reflecting on inner worlds, memory, and the delicate veil between reality and reverie. It's a visual embodiment of a dream-fragile, fluid, and filled with quiet mystery.

About the artist: Pr?fessi?n?lly tr?ined ?s ?n ?rchitect, Vitaly Duhnevich is ?n ?rtist wh? uses very unusu?l ?nd c?l?rful techniques t? pr?duce his w?rks ?f ?rt.
?ne ?f the techniques he h?s used since 1995 t? cre?te his ?rtw?rks is the s?-c?lled "degre?sed ?il" techniques. It is b?sed ?n ?n ?lder technique th?t w?s f?rmerly used in e?rly printing meth?ds.
Dukhnevich's w?rk is d?ne ?n thin c?rdb??rd ?r thick p?per ?nd the end result s?mewh?t resembles ? print. The technique is t? thin ?il p?ints n?t with ?il, but t? use ? p?int thinner - hence the "degre?sed ?il" term.
