The composition depicts female figures conveyed through delicate lines that emphasize their plasticity and romantic mood. The work carries a touch of naïve art, adding immediacy and warmth. It is both a portrait and a study of the figure through painting and graphics.
"Bathers" is a familiar subject to me, one I’ve often seen in museums and galleries. From what I recall, this theme was always associated with something pleasant and seemingly naïve. I didn’t aim to replicate the mood of “celebration of life” that I often encountered in such works. Instead, I focused on the line and figure as something tense, as if the world had lost its color. However, I sought not to push the mood into negativity but rather to express it through sharpness, incorporating contemporary elements and graphic techniques.
