Veronika Obushikhina - Figures 2 XL

This work is about the gaze as a form of presence. A larger figure and a smaller one contained within it create a hierarchy of attention: the outer gaze holds the space, while the inner gaze fixes an inner state. It is neither a dialogue nor a gesture of protection, but the simultaneous existence of two levels of observation — what is visible to the world and what unfolds inside.
The figure is constructed from simple, rigid lines, yet this restraint generates tension. The minimum of gestures and details heightens the sense of vulnerability and stability at the same time: the form does not collapse under pressure, but holds itself through inner balance. Technique: acrylic on canvas.

The painting is made with acrylic on canvas. The artwork size is 50 ×100 cm, with a depth of 3 cm, and the edges are painted to match the composition. The total canvas size, including borders, is 60 ×110 cm.


About the artist:
Veronika Obushikhina is a contemporary artist working in the genre of abstract art, living in Spain. Her work is based on minimalism and strict geometric forms, combining bright, saturated colors and contrasts. In her pieces, every line and shape matters, where simplicity and clarity of composition are the main elements. The artist strives to express the idea that true strength lies in simplicity. For her, simplicity is not a limitation, but a liberation from unnecessary complexity and distracting details. She creates a space where the viewer can focus on the core elements — form, color, contrast — and feel their purity and power.
Simplicity of form and bright colors are Veronika's way of expressing ideas with maximum strength and directness. Through concise geometric shapes and vibrant contrasts, she aims to draw attention to the essence of the work, where each element has its own meaning. Simplicity allows the viewer to easily perceive the work while also providing space for deep interpretation and personal sensations. Bright colors emphasize the dynamics, enhance the emotional response, and make the painting vivid and energetic, creating a visual force that resonates with the viewer.
Veronika has participated in several national exhibitions, and her paintings are in private collections across Europe and America, where they attract the attention of contemporary art collectors with their purity and expressiveness.
