A unique visual language, between symbolism and abstraction
Game of love (2025), Andrei Kreminskii, Oil on Canvas, 50x70 cm
Andrei Kreminskii 's style is distinguished by what some call academic abstraction : a subtle alliance between the formal rigor inherited from classical teaching and an emotional freedom specific to contemporary expression. His works do not simply represent; they suggest, they invoke, leaving the viewer with a large part of interpretation and feeling. In Game of Love , the artist composes a banquet that takes on the appearance of a dreamlike theatrical scene, where enigmatic black spheres, fixed gazes and a barely veiled tension make the mystery almost palpable. This ability to create an immersive atmosphere is also found in Performance , where the viewer is drawn into the excitement of a nocturnal circus, bathed in electric lights and echoes of childhood. Every detail seems to vibrate, as if caught in a party in perpetual motion. Finally, Morning Journey unfolds a poetic vision of a station enveloped in steam, where three locomotives gently emerge in a mist of pastel shades, like reminiscences of a waking dream.
