This original work, «Imaginary obstacles», was created by contemporary Russian artist Oksana Sotnikova and is available for purchase online.
The painting by Oksana Sotnikova, «Imaginary obstacles» from the «Pandemic» series, is a deeply symbolic and socially poignant piece that explores themes of restrictions, isolation, and emptiness in the modern world, particularly addressing the issue of closed borders and halted travel.
At the center of the composition is a long road stretching into the distance, paved with light, almost mirror-like tiles reflecting the sky. This road should lead to freedom of movement, but it is empty. The absence of people, vehicles, and motion intensifies the feeling of desolation and uncertainty.
On both sides of this path, spaced apart, stand stylized trees. Their trunks have an organic shape, but their crowns consist of numerous round, spherical elements resembling stones, bubbles, or some kind of obstacles. These «tree-obstacles» appear motionless and artificially placed, creating visual barriers along the way. They symbolize the very «imaginary obstacles» — not physical walls, but decisions, restrictions, and fears that have stopped global movement.
The background of the painting is a light golden space with a subtle texture reminiscent of gold leaf or a glowing sky. This background may symbolize the promise of freedom and opportunities that remain out of reach. The horizon is blurred, emphasizing the uncertainty of the future.
Oksana Sotnikova’s «Imaginary obstacles» is not just a landscape but a powerful metaphor reflecting the impact of the pandemic on mobility worldwide. The painting prompts reflection on the invisible barriers we have created for ourselves, the loss of freedom of movement, and how «imaginary» fears and restrictions can alter our reality. It is a work that encourages deep contemplation of global changes and human perception.
This painting can be hung on the wall in your apartment, house, office, restaurant, or hotel, and it will become a beautiful decoration for your interior.
