Prominences of the outgoing summer, 2022

This 150x100 cm oil painting on canvas presents a mysterious female figure, her face partially hidden beneath the shadow of a wide-brimmed hat. The contrast between muted, earthy tones and electrifying neon hues—deep greens, warm browns, and flashes of vivid pinks and reds—creates a dynamic tension that mirrors the emotions of nostalgia and sensuality.

Sheleg’s distinctive technique blends raw, expressive brushstrokes with calculated abstraction, allowing his figures to exist in a dreamlike state. The composition evokes a sense of transition, as if the subject is caught between past and present, light and shadow. His ability to infuse his work with both mystery and deep emotional resonance makes this piece ideal for modern interiors, luxury living spaces, and boutique art collections.

As with much of Viktor Sheleg’s work, this painting challenges conventional perceptions of beauty and form. Through its striking color palette and bold composition, Prominences of the Outgoing Summer is more than a portrait—it is an evocative statement on the passage of time, a moment both captured and slipping away.
