Scarlet, 2022

In the painting Scarlet artist Aslan Orazaev presents a tender and sensual image of a young girl. Red hair, delicate forms, playful smile. The artwork gives a feeling of a spring romance, sensuality and eroticism, as if a romantic night has turned into something more. The artist amazingly conveys sounds and smells in his painting – muffled relaxing music plays in the distance, the room is filled with the scent of flowers and fresh linen. The intimacy of the moment is almost disturbing; the artist is sharing an intimate, treasured memory. As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
