Painting
It was the pandemic and lockdown of 2020-2021 that made me rethink art.
Igor Melnyk
I was left alone in a closed workshop that allowed me to open up and be free in my work, to achieve the thoughtlessness and ease in art that I strive to continue to reach. It was during the lockdown in 2021 that I started creating a new series of landscape works called SILENCE.
Man is stronger than circumstances.
Often we simply lack the time and endurance to wait for change, or to become the source and driving force of these changes. In addition, we lack pauses and silence to see all the reasons, to see and move on. “Silence” is calm, complete absence of sound environment, immutability of nature. It made it possible to abstract, to plunge into absolute idyll, public access, infinity of experiences and new impressions.
