In the painting “Dreams come true” (2020), Natalia Kokhnichenko masterfully demonstrates her skill in figurative and surreal painting. On a large linen canvas (130×100 cm), the artist creates a unique composition, where a classic monochrome female portrait organically intertwines with a detailed mountain river landscape. This symbiosis of realism and fantasy is made using complex oil techniques that allow you to convey the most subtle transitions of light and shadow in a gray palette.
Particular attention is drawn to the mastery of the transfer of texture – from the smoothness of the skin to the roughness of rocky mountains and the dynamics of river flows. Dramatic clouds over the mountains add depth and mood to the composition. The absence of bright colors focuses attention on the form, volume and internal dynamics of the image. “Dreams come true” is an exceptional piece for collectors who appreciate complex artistic solutions, technical excellence, and art that stimulates the intellectual imagination.
