Painting “City” (2006)

Mykola Boliukh's "City" is a mesmerizing layer upon layer canvas in which urban motifs and human figures skillfully intertwine with symbolism and realistic elements. The artist adeptly combines various styles – modernism, realism, and symbolism, creating a complex and profound visual narrative.

The central parts of the work are filled with urban landscapes, mosaic-like buildings, and trees painted in bright and vivid colors. Human figures are also present, seemingly emerging from the urban fabric, symbolizing the soul of the city and its inhabitants.

In this entire piece, the city is not merely an architectural space; it is a living organism filled with stories, emotions, and atmosphere. Mykola Boliukh invites the viewer into the urban labyrinth, where every corner, every building, and every person has their unique story. This masterful blend of styles makes "City" not just a depiction of an urban landscape but also a profound philosophical reflection on the relationship between humans and the urban environment.
