An unexpected storm (2021) Tekening door Svetlana Gudilova

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.

To write this picture I was inspired by the musical work of Karl Orff "Carmina Burana"

Karl Orff wrote his stage cantata based on German and Latin poems and songs of the 18th century.

The wheel of fortune will not get tired of spinning:
I will be cast down from the heights, humiliated;
meanwhile the other will rise, rise,
still ascended to the heights by the same wheel.

I was inspired by this work to write a picture. I heard in music how, applying the last effort - the color and joy of life, trying to escape from the clutches of the overtaken storm.
The sea can be serene, but if you are not careful, then suddenly, your joys can be interrupted. And you never know when that moment will come. A gentle and gentle sea, beautiful and shimmering with all colors, in an instant can become stormy and drag you down to the bottom.
In the same way, the wheel of fortune, which is sung about in a song, can lift a person to the highest or throw him down.

In my opinion - pastel is much better than other types of paints, conveys brightness and richness, which I love so much in paintings. Therefore, for the image of the sea, I chose pastel. And if you put a pastel painting in a frame behind the glass, not forgetting to put a mat - an interlayer that would separate the painting from the glass, not allowing the pastel layer to come into contact with the glass, then such paintings retain their richness of colors much longer than oil painting.
Unlike oil paintings, the paint on them will not crack and burst.

My seascapes do not depict animals, people or seagulls. Thus, I want it to become closer and the rest of the details do not interfere with perception and merging with it.

My paintings do not have the artist's signature. I sign my work before sending it to the customer. And if the format of the picture allows, then I can sign several phrases on it that you want. It can be a congratulation to the person to whom you want to give a picture, or a phrase that is of great importance to you.
