Who,What 2006

Aleksandr Borodin's 2006 painting, "Who, What," is a surreal and visually captivating work that depicts a jester-like figure holding a book with the letters "Z" and "V" prominently displayed, while two women with contemplative expressions flank him. The central figure's face is obscured by a mask, suggesting a sense of mystery and hidden identity. The book and the words "Who, What, Where, When, How, Why, How Much" at the bottom of the image hint at the search for knowledge and understanding. Borodin's painting uses a vibrant color palette and a distinct style, blending realism with elements of fantasy and symbolism, inviting the viewer to explore the complexities of human perception and the pursuit of meaning.
