Svitlana Andriichenko - Arrakis.А21

"Arrakis.А21". “On every planet, whose appearance is not distorted by man, there is a natural beauty of movement and balance. In this beauty, one can easily see the dynamic stabilizing factor common to all life. Its goal is simple: to produce interoperable systems of ever increasing complexity. Life increases the capacity of a given closed system to support life, life — all life — serves life. - Pardota Kainza". Frank Herbert "Dune". This painting has a bright abstract style with a predominance of yellows, greens and light reds. The upper part of the canvas is filled with warm, yellow tones, creating the feeling of bright sunlight or a sandy landscape. Green and brown brushstrokes in the central part add texture, similar to vegetation or greenery on a desert surface, which can be associated with distant oases or fertile areas among the sands. The lower part of the canvas has vertical blurred lines, reminiscent of reflections or flowing water. They have warm, pink and reddish hues, giving a contrast to the yellow tones, creating the effect of a transition from a desert landscape to something more humid or multi-layered. This abstract work evokes associations with the fantastic landscape of the planet "Arrakis" from the book "Dune" by Frank Herbert, where there is a desert, heat and bright sunlight.
