A series of paintings "All Shades of Blue" is a study of coloristic
relationships within a strictly defined framework of the plot chosen
by the author.
The artist Nina Kukharets boldly compensates for the fundamental
plastic uniformity of the depicted figures with a variety of
painting techniques, tools and materials. Oil and charcoal,
gouache and mascara, acrylic and lipstick may seem incompatible
just like female nudes and cold shades of the color
spectrum. But, taken as a whole, these nine works do not cause
cognitive discomfort.
There is an opinion that psychologically, the blue color has a
calming effect on the mind, drowns out and extinguishes passions, but also
sharpens sensitivity and gives freedom in expressing emotions. The
presented meditation series fully confirms this opinion.
