Sometimes I remake my paintings after they seemed
Sometimes I remake my paintings after they seemed to be finished. This happened to the painting Let’s Talk. I’ve made it after a small sketch, precise and accurate. But magic hasn’t unfortunately happened. It looked dull. I’ve realized this after some time looking at it and decided to make it more vivid, with more interesting textures and complicated shades. I’ve chosen to make a base of other colors in some areas. My deep knowledge of color theory helped me decide this. The process turned out joyful because Sasha helped me film it. It’s actually a rare occasion to catch such moments on camera. To see the final result - check up my post from 19th Dec 🙌 #alenakuznetsovaartist #kuznetsovafamiliarground #artwork #inprogress #studio #kyiv #ukraine

New (and possibly the last this year) big 101*140
New (and possibly the last this year) big 101*140 cm painting finished several weeks ago after a small sketch (January 2024). My painting often needs some time to brew, to mature. I come back with a time and see if it is done for sure either I need to so something else. Without a name yet (Any ideas of you? 😉), but a part of a big cycle Familiar ground. I like the texture here and new acrylic color gamma, so mild and tender. The last week was very saturated. I was thinking about femininity, connections and democracy in today’s Ukraine, particularly in art women communities. I’m taking part simultaneously in two residencies (and both are feministic to varying degrees) and dreaming of the rest and Christmas holidays 🌲🌳🌴🎋 I’ve got already a booklist for this. —— #kuznetsovafamiliarground #alenakuznetsovaartist

Black Swan-2
120*120 cm, mixed media on canvas, 20
Black Swan-2 120*120 cm, mixed media on canvas, 2024 🖤🦢 Refers to unpredictable evens, happening in our lives and changing everything (after Taleb). Looking back to my first Black Swan (100*100 cm, 2017), which has found its home in the USA — I will post that work on stories. Love this calm color gamma, almost monochrome in this case: I’ve painted it only with black and white to let the texture play first. The perfect shade of linen for the canvas i was searching by myself through the textile stores in Kyiv.👌 #alenakuznetsovaartist #kuznetsovablackswan #kuznetsovafamiliarground

New painting is done 🎉 Big Horizon, 80*200 cm, oil, acrylic on canvas, 2024❤️🧡💛💚 I used unusual horizontal format and new for me green (and a bit of blue) color, as autumn inspired me for this. As usual, I needed much time afterwards for the finishing small details to be sure, that the work is done and each color is in the right place (like in Thom Yorke’s song), though the very process was in September and October (it’s still rather warm on this video in my Kyiv studio). But only now I’m sure it’s finished! 😅 #alenakuznetsovaartist

The story of one oil painting title 📇

The story of one oil painting title 📇 📍‘Serpen-time’, 150*113 cm, oil on canvas, 2024. It was created at my Kyiv studio, still during the war, in the end of summer, in August (which is ‘serpen’ in Ukrainian). The name also alludes to a famous gallery and a serpentarium as well (from my personal experience). It is a rather interesting story with the painting’s title, because I had no idea in the beginning how to name it. Then I decided to ask for help at my fb profile, and my friends and people there advised me about 20 names. The most widespread was connected with August, and ‘Serpen’ with variations ☺️ Thankful everyone took part in co-creation, especially @sasha.horbatiuk , whose version with ‘Serpentine’ was the best for me! 🙏 Also many thanks to @dave_ciolkosz , who gave me his stretchers with unusual sizes, after leaving Ukraine. It is made on it 🙌 P.S. I was living my best life those times, enjoying summer and new painting experience in spite of danger of missile attacks, which we are mostly got used to. #alenakuznetsovaartist #kuznetsovaserpentime #kuznetsovafamiliarground #painting #abstract #kyiv #august

The experience of every commission is unique and e
The experience of every commission is unique and everything depends on the task and on the time i have. Even if I got reference, the process always leads me and shows the better way to go. I love experimenting and has a freedom to do this even in commissions because my experience allows me to. I also love measurements for example a limited range of colour gamma like in this work. Of course, such sophisticated technique pointillism - requires much time and attention. I can do such painting and nothing more else. As a result, such a work will be more expensive then each painting of three or four simultaneously in one task. #alenakuznetsovaartist #painting #commissions #artist

Autumn’s Golden Embrace 🍂
As the leaves grace
Autumn’s Golden Embrace 🍂 As the leaves gracefully descend, painting the world in hues of gold and crimson, I find myself drawn to the warmth and tranquility of this season. This new piece captures the essence of autumn - a harmonious blend of rich, earthy tones and soft, muted hues. I’ve always been fascinated by the way nature transitions from the vibrant energy of summer to the serene beauty of autumn. This painting is my interpretation of that transformation, a visual representation of the cozy, comforting feeling that comes with the changing seasons. I hope this piece evokes a sense of warmth and nostalgia in you. Let me know what you think! #autumnart #abstractpainting #cozyvibes #artlover #creativeprocess #autumncolors #fallvibes #painting #art #artist
