Lightness (2023) Schilderij door Stanislav Kunchev

Interesting Fact:
The painting's primary color, turquoise, was chosen to evoke a sense of tranquility and clarity. Turquoise, with its blend of blue and green, is known to symbolize peace, balance, and rejuvenation. Its use in “Lightness” creates an ethereal atmosphere, enhancing the painting’s depiction of water, rocks, and morning mist. The delicate interplay of turquoise hues in the painting highlights the artist’s intent to capture the tranquil beauty of a natural setting.

Inspiration:
The inspiration for “Lightness” came from the serene moments one might experience by a quiet lakeside at dawn. The artist was drawn to the subtle interplay of light and water, where reflections dance gently on the surface and morning fog envelops the landscape in a soft embrace. This painting aims to capture that ephemeral moment of calm before the day fully awakens. The water’s reflections and the surrounding mist are rendered in layered oil paints, allowing for a rich texture and depth that mirrors the complexity of nature’s own lightness.

The inclusion of the morning mist in the background adds a layer of mystery and softness, blurring the line between reality and dream. This foggy veil envelops the scene, suggesting a quiet pause in time where the world feels both tangible and fleeting. The detailed depiction of the rocks and their reflections not only adds to the painting’s realism but also emphasizes the meditative quality of the scene, inviting viewers to experience a moment of stillness and reflection.

In “Lightness,” every brushstroke and color choice is a deliberate attempt to evoke a sense of peace and introspection, offering a glimpse into the artist’s vision of the natural world’s serene beauty.
