In this captivating portrait, Andriy Klishyn masterfully conveys the quiet melancholy of a puppeteer after a modestly attended performance. The expressionist style brings life to the rich color palette and evocative details. The puppeteer's weary posture and the tender embrace of his marionette on his lap speak volumes about the bond between the performer and his inanimate companion. The artist skillfully captures the bittersweet emotions of exhaustion, loneliness, and unconditional love. The empty bottle beside the puppeteer underscores a night of minimal financial reward but deep emotional resonance. This painting is a beautiful blend of narrative and emotion, reflecting a timeless story of dedication and love.
I am a professional artist who started my career late. But it is possible that this should have happened. Everything has its time. I have been drawing professionally since 2019, but I already have over two hundred paintings. My art is ambiguous and unlike any other, probably because I paint with my heart. Sometimes I use intuitive drawing, namely: not from life and not from paintings, but only what is in my head, in my soul, in my heart. But most importantly and completely unexpected for me, after a series of works, I began to understand where my images come from ... I think that I or my essence saw them in our past lives.
