Water Lilies, 2023
Alexey Yezhov's 2023 painting is a delightful blend of nature and abstraction. The artist depicts an underwater scene with flora in such a way that it conveys a sense of tranquility and harmony. The yellow round leaves and blue berries appear to drift against a blue, water-rich background, creating a sense of movement and freedom. Stones arranged on the bottom add texture and depth to the composition, allowing the viewer to feel its layers and dynamics. Yezhov uses soft contrasts and a rich palette to emphasize the beauty of natural forms and create an atmosphere filled with mystery and dreaminess.
