DESCRIPTION
"Constellation Virgo" by Sergei Komiagin captures the interplay between the celestial and the earthly, intertwining the universal theme of creation with the mystery of the cosmos.
 
The painting features an abstract representation of a reclining female figure, rendered in a warm, fiery palette of reds, oranges, and golds.
 
The dynamic brushstrokes and textured layers evoke a sense of movement, as if the figure is not merely resting but existing in a transformative, cosmic state.
 
The title, referencing the Virgo constellation, draws a parallel between the woman and the ancient mythological and astronomical symbol. Virgo, often associated with fertility, purity, and the harvest, symbolizes creation and the nurturing force of life.
 
Similarly, the female form in the painting becomes a metaphor for the genesis of ideas and life itself, mirroring the vast, unending energy of the universe.
 
Komiagin's use of vivid colors and gestural lines emphasizes the connection between the microcosm of human existence and the macrocosm of the stars.
 
This interplay suggests that creativity—whether in art, life, or the universe—is a boundless act, one that unites humanity with the infinite mystery of the cosmos.
 
BIOGRAPHY
Sergei Komiagin was born in 1970 in the Smolensk region of Russia.
 
He earned a degree in Arts from the Smolensk State University (former Smolensk State Pedagogical Institute) in 1993. He currently lives and works in Svetlogorsk, in the Kaliningrad region.
 
In his practice, Sergei strives to express emotions through facial expressions and
movements of the human body. Especially interested in sports and music, the artist often refers to these themes in his dynamic and expressive portraits bordering with abstraction.
