Lodge (2023) Original Oil Painting by Anatolii Varvarov

№Varv 208
Oil artwork “Lodge” depicts a delicate structure built from playing cards floating high in a blue sky. The cards are arranged like a fragile house of cards, carefully balanced in midair above soft white clouds. The composition captures the moment when the structure seems both stable and uncertain, suspended between balance and collapse.

The image symbolizes risk, chance, and the fragile nature of stability. Each playing card supports another, forming a geometric structure that appears surprisingly strong despite its delicate design. The open sky and scattered clouds add a sense of lightness and surreal calm, turning the card construction into a metaphor for ambition, strategy, and the uncertainty of outcomes.

Created with oil on canvas, the artwork highlights the contrast between the detailed playing cards and the soft atmosphere of the sky. Subtle brushwork gives depth to the clouds and background, while the cards themselves form a precise architectural composition that draws the viewer’s eye upward.
