A Moment To Reflect
Valeriy Gridnev’s original piece A Moment to Reflect (20" x 26") is a poignant study in stillness and introspection. The ballerina, seated in quiet solitude, gazes downward as she gently holds her worn pink pointe shoes. Dressed in a rich green tutu, she appears lost in thought, her pose suggesting both physical rest and emotional reflection.
The background is minimal, allowing the figure to emerge with clarity and presence. The artist’s swift, confident marks are balanced with areas of softness, imbuing the work with immediacy while preserving an impressionistic atmosphere. Subtle blush tones on the dancer’s face and décolletage hint at exertion, contrasting with the graceful poise of her posture. This interplay of vulnerability and discipline is central to Gridnev’s exploration of character.
Inspired by Van Dyck, Sargent and Monet, Gridnev unites classical technique with expressive freedom. His emphasis on mood and movement elevates his portraits beyond likeness, revealing the inner lives of his subjects. A Moment to Reflect exemplifies his unique ability to portray the silent poetry of a private moment, imbued with emotion, grace, and timeless beauty.
