Fleetingness (2021) 그림 Svetlana Gudilova 로

Composer Sergei Prokofiev wrote a wonderful cycle of 20 pieces for piano, which he called "Fleetingness".
The works were inspired by the poetry of Balmont.
I see worlds in every fleetingness,
Full of a changeable, rainbow game ”.

I was inspired by the first piece from the cycle. Such transparent and sparkling music will not leave indifferent not only ordinary listeners, but also artists.

It seemed to me that the title "Fleeting" is very well suited to the title of my painting. What could be more fleeting than a sunset?

My grandfather was an artist and since childhood I developed a craving for fine arts. I spent a lot of time drawing, but my parents decided that I needed to make music and therefore I received a professional music education.

Even while studying music, I learned about myself such a feature that when I listen to a piece of music, picturesque colorful images appear in my head. I believed that this happens with every person who listens to music. And only at the institute I learned that this feature is very rare and even scientifically studied. Its name is SYNESTHESIA.

Synesthesia is a type of color hearing in which musical sounds evoke color associations in a person.

In the paintings, as a color basis for the background, I take the sound tonality in which the work is written, and then convey the music of classical composers with the help of paints and colors.

My paintings are filled with music. When I paint pictures, I listen to a piece of music, and if the piece I am listening to is vocal, then I sing ... I am a laureate of international competitions in opera vocal and performing another piece, my picture is filled with live sounds and vibrations of music ...
And if the piece is instrumental, then I look for its piano score, and after the painting is finished, I perform that piece of music that inspired me on the piano and, accordingly, I also fill it with music ..

Why do I use seascapes for color rendering, and not abstraction?

The fact is that sea waves beat against the shore with a certain rhythm.

Dante also used the rhythm of the sea to compose the verse of his works. And music, as you know, is rhythmic.
The sea for me is the most alive on earth and changing its state; in my opinion, it is best suited for conveying a musical mood. Indeed, in different types of art, the state of mind was compared with natural phenomena. And what can disturb the soul as strongly as a sea storm, or soothe it, as the sound of water of quiet and gentle waves?

My paintings are the material embodiment of music, so you won't see animals or birds on them. This way I want the extra details not to interfere with the color perception.


Not everyone is given a color hearing, so now, I want to share this quality of mine with other people and show them how beautiful a piece of music can look.

I want other people to be able to see what they hear ...
