More about this artwork

The painting showcases a single human hand set against a vibrant blue backdrop, characterized by its folds and drapes that suggest a flowing blue dress. The hand, depicted with subtle naturalistic detail, is adorned with delicate jewelry; two thin golden rings strung with petite, colored beads decorating the ring and middle fingers. The composition uses a sharp contrast between the calming blue tones of the background and the warm beige of the skin, while the precise outlines emphasize clarity and the purity of color. The perspective leads the viewer’s eye towards the central V-shaped neckline of the dress, which gently guides the path towards the gracefully positioned hand.

Sviatlana Petushkova's work is not something that can slip by unnoticed. The eye is drawn both to the large, bright planes and to their bold compositions. The style of painting is also unique in today's context, reminiscent of comics or manga illustrations, where everything is rendered in line and colour, and shadow, which is associated with the representation of three-dimensionality, is completely abandoned. This gives the paintings an openness - the artist avoids the mysteriousness of nudes, she does not try to conceal anything, but rather to show it as it is.

The artist's aim is to show that there is no part of the human body that is ugly, so she is always looking for provocative angles and new poses for her models, and she does not try to cover anything up. Please note that none of the women in the paintings show any modesty, they are all happy and enjoying their bodies.

The artist herself says of her work: "Art is my work, my passion and the meaning of my life. I am inspired by human beauty. I studied anatomy and composition at the Academy of Fine Arts and worked with nudes every day. After graduation I continued to study this field.

I work with the human body. I believe that all people are beautiful, regardless of age, weight, size and skin colour. Every day we are criticized, we try to conform to beauty standards and someone else's expectations, we debilitate ourselves with diets and plastic surgeries, but this only makes it harder to accept our own bodies. Instead of looking for beauty, we are constantly looking for flaws in ourselves.

My mission is to show that there are no flaws, that these are stereotypes. I want all people to see only beauty in each other! I hope that my work will help people all over the world to accept and love their bodies."

Svetlana graduated from the Gymnasium-College of Arts and the Belarusian State Academy of Fine Arts in Minsk, department of easel graphics.
