It is certain that even after the smallest smile, one small microbe in the body dies. (Yuri Nikulin)

2021, oil on canvas, author's technique, coffee, 70x50 cm /// The artist Marina Medvedeva creates her works with a special individual approach, philosophy and author's technique. Abstract paintings are designed as a connection between the subconscious allowing the viewer go into the flow of emotions and associations. The paintings are supplemented with a quote from a famous or unknown author, which also serves as the title of the work. The quote is handwritten on a page of the book surrounded by several layers of paint. Thus, combining two energies - the “power of colour” and the “power of word”. The painting is in combination of light blue and pink, the whole surface of the plane is covered with an expressive texture. The composition is complimented with a quote by famous Russian actor Yuri Nikulin in Russian “Даже после небольшой улыбки в организме обязательно дохнет один маленький микроб.” (It is certain that even after the smallest smile, one small microbe in the body dies.) /// The artist's signature on the lower right side of the painting.
