Vesuvio 3000 2015

Arsen Savadov's 'Vesuvio 3000' dives headfirst into a swirling world of color and form. It's like watching a painter figure things out as they go, embracing the unpredictable. The painting is awash with texture, a kind of physical drama unfolding on the surface. The pigments seem to dance between transparency and opacity. Look closer, and you'll notice how each brushstroke feels deliberate yet spontaneous. Take the peacock at the bottom, for instance. The blues aren't just blues; they're layered, shifting, alive. And there's something about the intensity of the colours that reminds me of Chagall; that sense of dreamlike storytelling, yet with a darker edge. Ultimately, Savadov shows us that art isn't about answers. It's about the questions we ask, the worlds we dare to imagine, and the freedom to let our ideas take flight, even when—or especially when—they defy logic.
