The painting, of course, refers to many works by Velazquez depicting maidens, and in particular to "Las meninas". (You can also mention the works of Picasso inspired by this extraordinary work). Infants in tight and not very comfortable costumes probably had to maintain an attitude consistent with the rigid court etiquette. Here, however, they are a bit relaxed, like infants on vacation, outdoors; hands in pockets, hair flowing. Virgo, judging from their attitudes, currently have different moods - one looks proudly into the distance, while the other one looks down melancholy.
The picture has a rich texture. Free, thin, as if broken lines adjoin the areas with a delicate, glaze and "air" character. This creates an atmosphere of a hot space filled with bright yellow, vibrating light, which can be described as a holiday space (the painting could be subtitled "Infants on vacation").
Bohdan Wincenty Łoboda, a contemporary Polish artist, pursued his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź. Furthering his education, he completed postgraduate studies in Puppet Theater Directing at the State Higher School of Theater in Warsaw, focusing on the Department of Puppet Theater Directing in Białystok.
Łoboda's artistic journey encompasses designing scenery for children's performances at various State Puppet Theaters, including those in Gdańsk, Poznań, Lublin, Będzin, Bielsko, and Radom. His recent paintings feature fairy-tale characters and situations drawn from theatrical productions for which he created the scenery.
With a background spanning many years in graphic art, particularly color woodcut, Łoboda's works often center around the theme of a female portrait. Through a juxtaposition of two faces representing distinct personalities, his art captures a dialogue or conflict using economical graphic techniques.
For Łoboda, painting is akin to creating a theatrical scene. As he brings his characters to life on canvas, they engage in their own existence, peering into each other's worlds from the other side of the mirror or the painted surface.
