The Dance of Broken Fingers 2024

The painting depicts the feet and broken fingers of a dancing ballerina. The ballerina is depicted in motion, her pose is dynamic and full of expression. The ballerina's feet are stretched and tense, and the fingers are bent, deformed and even severed. The skin color on the feet is pale, which creates a feeling of fragility and vulnerability. But the pose does not bend, and the beauty of these fingers is unique.

Rooted in painting, Aleksey Ovsyannikov's foundational training informs his now contemporary-styled oil-on-canvas works. His technique, though modern, elicits a sentimentality, exploring varying ideas and theories via an adaptive aesthetic. Capturing transience, his art embodies the potent power of emotions, realised through mutable perception.
