Fear is one of the basic emotions that has allowed humanity to survive. But the safer we live, the more we are afraid, the more fears a person has.
My painting from the 'eMotions' series is about a strong feeling of fear that makes life unbearable. Yes, exactly unbearable. Because we are sitting on the bench in a dark basement and even with an open door, behind which the whole world exists, we are afraid to take the first step towards the unknown.
This girl in the painting symbolizes every person who has experienced the fear of change, the fear of something new. The falling light from an open door indicates that it is safe behind it, and the blue ball symbolizes the whole world.
The girl throws it and is afraid to tear her hands off the bench, on which she curls up with fear. Her arms and legs are tense, and her face is contorted in a fear grimace. She is very, very scared. But she is afraid to leave her place of comfort and go out into the light.
Even adults often do this. Fear drives them into the dark and prevents from developing, living a full life, and enjoying it. So you'd better defeat your fear not to be this girl locked in darkness, but to breathe deeply and not waste precious time.
The high quality of linen canvas and natural pigment paints is guaranteed. The canvas is stretched onto a wooden frame and is ready to be hung. The painting is covered with a protective layer of varnish. The size of the painting is 47.2 x 31.5 x 0.8 inches| 120 x 80 x 2 cm. The painting is unique. it's hand-signed on the front and backside of the canvas.

Eleonora Taranova was born in a small Ukrainian town in 1971. As a child, she lived in a village house with animals and observed their behavior. She learned to portray the emotions and movements of pets on her own since there was no art school in the town.
After working as a teacher at a higher school for over 20 years, she quit her job for health reasons and took up painting as a hobby. Now she is working as a full-time artist in animalistic and figurative genres for the last 13 years.
Eleonora draws inspiration from the rock carvings' simplicity and expressiveness, the emotionality of the works of Rembrandt and Vrubel, the human form depiction of Francis Bacon, and bright colored works of Franz Mark. Her latest discovery is the works of Danish artist Oluf Hartmann, in which she finds answers to her questions.
Fleeing the war, Eleonora appeared in Denmark where she is based now. The artist researches emotions with the aim of opposing and finding common ground between human and animal psychology. She awakens empathy and pays tribute to animals that fill our lives with devotion and love, and inspire us with their natural beauty. The artist speaks for those who cannot speak for themselves.
