Her Own Time
Valeriy Gridnev’s original painting Her Own Time (21" x 28") is a luminous and intimate portrayal of a ballerina in a quiet, personal moment. With a palette of soft pastels and warm neutrals, Gridnev captures the dancer as she adjusts her pointe shoe, lost in thought and removed from the bustle of rehearsal or performance. Her downturned gaze and relaxed posture create a sense of calm introspection, emphasising the inner world of the subject.
Executed in oil with expressive brushwork and confident lines, the composition displays Gridnev’s hallmark combination of classical training and Impressionist influence. Light moves fluidly across the figure, highlighting the contours of her arms, the folds of her delicate tutu, and the cool tones of her tights. The background, left intentionally spare, allows the viewer to focus entirely on the dancer’s form and expression.
Gridnev, inspired by the likes of Van Dyck, Sargent and Monet, brings both discipline and spontaneity to his work. His swift, painterly style aims not at photographic accuracy but at capturing the emotion and essence of a moment. This painting is a testament to his sensitivity and skill — an evocative study that honours the quiet dignity of preparation and the grace of the artist’s muse.
