Painting description

In the painting, we see two people sitting across from each other at a table, illuminated by the warm light of a lamp. The background sinks into deep black, which adds a sense of mystery. Shades of red and brown dominate, interwoven with cooler tones. The figures seem to be engaged in an intense conversation, perhaps even a somewhat philosophical one. Letters float between them, as if their words were materializing in the space. Such a depiction symbolizes the power of communication and the exchange of ideas. The painting emanates calm, yet it intrigues at the same time. You feel a bit like an observer in an unusual place. You find yourself wondering what important thing they might be discussing. The technique the artist used is somewhat reminiscent of old-school realist painting with a strong emphasis on chiaroscuro. Except that the added abstract layer of letters introduces a modern element. The work can evoke various emotions. Calm, reflection, or perhaps even the sense that we are witnessing something magical. After all, it’s as if grand words are turning into real entities. “It’s like in a magic forest!” a seven-year-old would probably say. Personally, when I look at it, I feel how that “connection” between the figures becomes almost tangible. The painting has that elusive charm that stays with you for a long time.
