Original artwork description:

In “The Game,” Igor Galan captures the exuberance of youth in a vibrant 100x140 cm oil painting. The scene depicts a group of teenage boys running barefoot, their laughter and energy echoing through the surreal landscape. Galan’s masterful use of bold, dreamlike colors transforms this seemingly joyful moment into a composition filled with subtle tension and layered meaning.

The artist’s unique technique is evident in the interplay between detailed areas and more loosely painted strokes, a hallmark of Galan’s style. This approach creates a sense of lightness and movement, as though the painting itself is alive with the boys’ energy. The surreal tones of the background, painted in purples and pinks, contrast with the naturalistic depiction of the figures, inviting the viewer to explore deeper emotional and symbolic layers.

This artwork speaks to the fleeting nature of youth and the bittersweet beauty of moments that pass too quickly. It is an ideal choice for collectors who value emotionally charged and visually captivating art that combines technical expertise with an innovative approach to storytelling.
