Alina Grasman: I need a little solitude

Oil on canvas, 2022, 127×178 cm (50×70 in)

An eerie, mysterious scene—at first glance, it appears to be a perfectly normal living space, with a round table at its center and large panoramic windows framing the view. But something feels off. Perhaps it’s the contradicting color palette, where warm amber tones clash with icy blues. Or maybe it’s the strange, misplaced objects—a fruit still life, casually leaning against the wall, as if forgotten, or the cocktail glass that just toppled over, spilling a deep blue liquid onto the floor. Furthermore, a candle in the shape of a blue rabbit adds an uncanny touch, as if part of some surreal ritual and in the background, a lone table holds a single cocktail glass, standing weirdly isolated. A moment suspended in time, inviting questions without offering answers.
