Description
The painting "Persecute. Diario del Artista" (Chase. Artist's Diary) by Mykola Samokysh is a work that encapsulates the duality between the serenity of the natural environment and the tension inherent to hunting, a recurring theme in the work of the Ukrainian artist. Samokysh, known for its vibrant landscapes and its ability to capture the urban and rural life of Ukraine at the end of the 19th and early twentieth century, enters a representation where the action and splendor of the landscape converge.
In the foreground, the work reveals a dynamic scene with a hunter mounted on horseback, carrying with them the energy and determination of the movement. The hunter, who seems to be in full action, is the axis that articulates the visual narrative; His figure shows both the force and an intimate connection with the animal that pursues. The representation of the horse, strong and energetic, reinforces this sense of movement, while the skillful use of perspective helps create an ilation of depth and speed.
The natural environment, which covers a period of time between 1904 and 1908, unfolds in a color palette that evokes the diversity of nature. Vibrant green, combined with terrible nuances and the blue sky, make up a landscape that not only serves as a backdrop, but also contrasts with moving figures. This color use is not merely decorative; Instead, it establishes an atmosphere that intensifies the experience of hunting, a reflection of the Ukrainian environment that inspired Samokysh.
The characters in the painting, although limited to the figure of the hunter and his horse, represent a facet of the human being in relation to nature, another recurring theme in the artist's work. The relationship between the hunter and his prey encapsulates an eternal and symbolic conflict: hunting as an allegory of the struggle for survival and domination over nature. In this work, there is a fascination with the ability to capture not only momentary action, but also the essence of a lifestyle that combines the art of hunting with a love for nature.
In addition to his themes, Samokysh reflects in his technique the influence of realism and impressionism, with an approach to natural light and an almost ethereal treatment of the elements. Its technical skill is evident in how it achieves a balance between the realistic representation of the forms and a subjective sense of the atmosphere. The work "pursue" is not only a testimony of its mastery, but also a record of the multifaceted relationship between man and the surrounding environment.
In summary, "Persecute. Diario del Artista" is a work that goes beyond the simple representation of hunting. It becomes a tribute to the beauty of the Ukrainian landscape and the complex human interactions with nature, leaving the viewer reflecting on the energy of the moment and the beauty of the surrounding environment. Mykola Samokysh's work continues to resonate for his ability to capture the living essence of his time, becoming a fresh air vehicle in the art world, which invites a deep contemplation and appreciation.
