Realization of Nikolay Berezkin's nightmare 1990

Oleg Holosiy painted 'Realization of Nikolay Berezkin's nightmare' with what looks like oil on a large canvas. The palette is dark but lively, like a storm cloud with hidden rainbows. There's something really raw about how Holosiy puts down paint, like he's wrestling with the image. You can see it in the frantic strokes around the figures – are they animals, demons, or just figments of poor Nikolay's imagination? Look closely at the way the black paint drips and pools, creating these intense shadows that give the whole scene a real sense of foreboding. Then there's that little patch of yellow in the corner, hinting at a hidden light. This reminds me a bit of Goya's darker works, those etchings where the monsters of the mind come crawling out. But Holosiy's got his own thing going on, a kind of wild abandon that feels very personal and Ukrainian, maybe? Anyway, it's not about answers here, it's about diving into the murky depths of the subconscious and embracing the mystery.
