Alone at night 2001

Volodymyr Loboda painted "Alone at Night" with oil on canvas. Imagine Loboda in his studio, brush in hand, diving into a world of blues and reds. The painting feels like a late-night confession. The model reclines, draped in striking colours; the artist translates her form with loose, expressive strokes. It's not about perfection, but about feeling. The electric blue and the deep reds pull the viewer in, creating a bold, almost disorienting, space. There's something vulnerable in those imprecise lines, a raw honesty that gets under your skin. It reminds me of some of Alice Neel’s portraits, where the subject's inner life seems to bubble to the surface through the paint. These artists are in a conversation, aren't they? Loboda’s painting isn’t just a depiction; it’s an exchange, a moment of connection captured in color and form.
