Description of the Artwork “The Crimson Cobalt Hallucinati”
"The Crimson Cobalt Hallucination" was inspired by a chance encounter with an old, weathered photograph found in a forgotten attic. The image was faded, but the striking contrast of red and blue in the figure’s clothing stood out, sparking the artist’s imagination. As the artist began to paint, the photograph transformed into something more abstract, with colors intensifying and the figure taking on an almost spectral presence. The vivid crimson and cobalt hues became symbols of memory and emotion, clashing yet intertwined. This painting captures the essence of that fleeting memory, a snapshot of a moment where past and present collide in vibrant color. * Original work created by Alexander Aksyonov.

Alexander Aksyonov, Ukraine
Professional artist from Ukraine, now working in Kyiv. His first solo exhibition took place in 1979, featuring a series of stained glass windows at a student club. Since then, he has participated in numerous group exhibitions, competitions, and is represented in both permanent and solo expositions. Aksyonov’s creative interests extend beyond painting to invention, music, choreography, sports. In 2017, he became the Ukrainian ballroom dancing champion. He believes the theme of dance is underrepresented in visual art, which inspires him to explore it in his work. His paintings often center on women—dancers who embody love, expectation, passion, and the fragile beauty of life’s fleeting moments. Through expressionist collages of color and form, he reflects the emotions evoked by feminine grace. His works invite viewers to rediscover joy, hope, and faith in creation through the luminous energy of movement and the beauty of the human spirit.
