Green light - Sofiia Bortnikova
Mixed media on canvas, 2022
70 x 85 cm
Description: The work "Green Light" by Sofiia Bortnikova is characterized by its visual appeal, which immediately captivates the viewer. The Ukrainian artist has been fascinated by the theme of extraterrestrial life since her childhood and takes it up in this work of art. She relies on powerful contrasts to emphasize the extraordinary. A dog that appears in the green light hardly appears at first glance. In this work, the artist uses her creative freedom by not providing the viewer with a clear meaning of the dog. It remains unclear whether the dog was stolen, brought to earth by aliens, or has some other meaning.
„Durch die bewusste Entscheidung von Sofiia, keine Antwort auf die Fragen bezüglich der Erscheinung des Hundes im grünen Licht zu geben, wird der Betrachter dazu angeregt, eine eigene Interpretation des Werkes zu entwickeln.“
