Non-glowing Tenderness (2022) 絵画 Inna Sumina によって

This artwork used to be a white-coral peony painted in oils. It was finished in November, 2021. I recollect the day when I started working on it: we just returned from a short holiday which we spent together with my husband and daughter in a small cozy hotel not far from Moscow.
I was inspired by nature and I wanted the flower to look tender but also a bit provoking: so the petals had shades of purple and blue.

Now I am experiencing a “blue” period.
I suppose the choice of colors for my paintings is conditioned by the anxiety and hope which are mixed in my heart these days.
I was bothered by a subliminal alarm and couldn’t help making the flower more abstract.

The new version reflects how I feel right now.
Because “will to abstraction is an expression of man's instinctive feeling of alienation and dread in regard to the hostile world he inhabits”.
The peony flower initially painted in oils is now covered with broken glass. Like broken dreams.

“Non-glowing Tenderness “, March 2022. Acrylic, oil on stretched linen canvas. 60x60x2 cm.
