City at night

Mediums: oil, canvas.
Location: State Russian Museum, St. Petersburg (Russia).

The festive dance of light glare among the fragments of houses, rhombuses and circles draws your attention and even pulls it into the depth of the canvas. This is a view from above, and sometimes from the side, but a sleeping street with window eye sockets, triangles and rectangles of roofs and passage arches looks like quite real. The central highway shines with yellow and white-blue circles of electric lighting, and the pink and cozy awaken window lures in the depth of the architectural night landscape. The variety of contours and geometry of the figures, as well as deliberate contrast and the dynamics of colour spots are proof that an art deco master created this work. The author does not hide her passion for the look and customs of the city – she lived in Kyiv and Odesa, in both Russian capitals and Paris.
