Resting Grace
Valeriy Gridnev’s original painting Resting Grace (20" x 26") is a poised and contemplative study of a dancer caught in a moment of introspection. With her back turned gently to the viewer, the subject’s posture is both elegant and relaxed, her hand resting under her chin in quiet thought. The simplicity of the composition draws attention to the beautifully observed anatomy and the delicate rendering of muscle and bone beneath luminous skin tones.
Gridnev’s deft handling of oil paint captures the softness of satin, the gossamer quality of tulle, and the warm light grazing the dancer’s back. With a refined palette and a loose yet precise line, he creates an impression of stillness and anticipation—perhaps a pause before the music resumes. There is an intimacy in this viewpoint, a sense of quiet admiration for the subject’s unguarded presence.
Gridnev's work is steeped in the traditions of the Old Masters while embracing the immediacy of Impressionism. His paintings reflect his love for natural light, gesture, and expression. An award-winning artist and Royal Society exhibitor, his portraits and figurative works are known for their grace, confidence and soul. In Resting Grace, that blend of classical influence and emotive sensitivity is particularly resonant.
