African queen portrait oil painting woman (2021) Schilderij door Evgeny Potapkin

In my paintings, the central figure is the woman. I strive to capture her divine beauty and complexity using an abundance of shades and colors. Each painting is not just an image but a window into the intricate and diverse world of the female soul.

The color palette in my paintings plays a key role in revealing the inner world of the woman. The variety of shades symbolizes her multifaceted nature and uniqueness; every detail and every color adds a new layer to the understanding of her inner state and emotions. The women in my paintings represent complex, deeply feeling, and intellectually rich personalities; each color and shade speaks to different aspects of their essence.

On the other hand, the simple and contrasting colors that I use over the main shades represent our perception of a woman’s mood. These colors are often monochromatic and without shades, symbolizing our (male) inability to fully grasp the complexity and depth of female emotions. In this contrast lies the main charm—our perception often proves to be too simplistic compared to the richness of a woman’s inner world.

Through my work, I want to show that men and women are different in many ways, and it is in these differences that our strength and beauty lie. Men see the world differently; their perception is more straightforward and unambiguous, whereas women see and feel much deeper and more multilayered.

These paintings are an invitation to dialogue, an attempt to understand and feel what is hidden behind the external appearance. They remind us of the necessity for greater understanding and respect for women's emotions and experiences, and the importance of recognizing and admiring the multifaceted nature of women.
