Original artwork description:
Dive into Igor Galan’s “Through the Depth of Water,” a visually stunning and conceptually rich oil painting that critiques the societal pressures imposed by media and advertising. Measuring 120x90 cm, this artwork portrays a woman seemingly submerged underwater, her intense gaze drawing the viewer into her world. The background, styled like a glossy magazine cover, symbolizes the artificial constructs of modern beauty standards and societal expectations.
Galan’s use of vibrant colors, flowing lines, and a mixture of modern realism with early 20th-century Art Nouveau and Art Deco influences creates a dynamic composition. The woman’s red hair, flowing upwards as if in water, contrasts with the structured text and graphics of the magazine layout, representing the tension between individuality and the constraints of media-driven ideals.
“Through the Depth of Water” is an exceptional piece for collectors seeking art that combines aesthetic sophistication with a powerful message. Its layered symbolism and striking visuals make it a standout work in Galan’s fashion project series.
