 "A Colorful Mask of a Tribal Shaman" is a vibrant and intense abstract oil painting that captures the essence of ancient mysticism and the deep connection to the spiritual world often associated with tribal shamans. The painting is dominated by a large, central figure that resembles a mask, adorned with bold, primary colors that merge and contrast with each other. Each feature of the mask is exaggerated and stylized, evoking the traditional carved masks used in many indigenous cultures for rituals and ceremonies. The eyes of the mask are closed or perhaps painted over, suggesting a look inward or a state of trance. They are a striking blue, cool and deep, set against the warm, fiery tones of the surrounding face. This contrast may symbolize the shaman's role as a bridge between the cool, rational world of the living and the passionate, fiery realm of the spirits. The mask's nose and mouth are rendered in dynamic shades of red and orange, with bold strokes of paint that give a sense of movement, as if the mask itself is in the middle of a chant or invocation. The use of red could indicate the life force, blood, and energy that a shaman is believed to manipulate during their spiritual work. Around the mask, the background is a mosaic of colors, with sweeps of green, yellow, and blue that create a halo-like effect, suggesting the shaman's connection to nature and the heavens. There are also vertical drips of paint in various colors that lend a sense of the mask being in a fluid, changing state, highlighting the transformative power attributed to shamans. Overall, the painting is a rich tapestry of color and symbolism. It invites the viewer to consider the powerful role of the shaman in their community, acting as a conduit between the physical and spiritual worlds, and the potent blend of reverence and fear that such figures often command. The texture and layering of the paint add a tactile dimension, enhancing the three-dimensional quality of the mask and emphasizing the potent spiritual energy that it represents.

Ukraine

Presentation

Sergei Voichenko is a person whose studies began and ended at a children's art school (CHS). He considers himself a true amateur and, as an artist, develops easily, quickly, with pleasure and independently. Sergey does not participate in exhibitions and creative projects, considering this format uninteresting for himself. He exhibits and sells his work on various online art platforms. The process of creativity and constant search brings him pleasure. Sergei does not have one theme for drawing, and also does not have one style in his painting. He loves impressionism, expressionism and abstraction, as well as experimenting and having freedom of expression on canvas. Sergey enjoys ease in the process of drawing, although his work hardly seems easy in the end. He is inspired by many different artists, working in different styles and directions, whose work he sees on social networks. He doesn't consider them very famous, but each of them is interesting in their own way. In addition, Sergei finds inspiration in his life in its various manifestations.
