										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This painting, as an empirical experience, was born from the influence of attending the Ozora Festival of psychedelic music, where sound and nature united people in a powerful energetic flow.<br />
It is dedicated to absolute love, emotional and physical intimacy, the connection between masculine and feminine, and the mystical interaction of energies.</p>
<p>The painting’s visual code is rich in symbols and nuances, highlighting the fine line between the physical and the spiritual. Abstract forms and soft, flowing colors—mainly pastel pinks and blues—convey a sense of lightness and harmony. Vibrant accents, like bold red and orange lines, add dynamism and depth—like a reflection of life itself, pulsing to the rhythm of emotions. Smooth contours of figures flow into one another, symbolizing unity and the balance of energies.</p>
<p>I recommend viewing this painting with your heart and emotions, feeling the vibrations of color and paying attention to any associations that arise.</p>
<p>What do you feel when looking at this interplay of forms and shades? Perhaps the painting will reveal something new about your own relationship with the concepts of closeness and unity.</p>
<p>The artwork is created with high-quality oil paints on canvas.<br />
This is a one of a kind painting, an absolutely unique creation by me, Mari Skakun<br />
Unframed. In situ images for illustration purposes only.<br />
Due to its large size, the artwork will be shipped rolled to make the delivery more convenient and cost-effective.<br />
If you need help deciding whether you an artwork would suit your space design style or you would like me to superimpose the artwork on a certain location then please contact me.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This graphic explores the theme of connection between two energies, conveying their interaction through delicate, flowing lines. The faces are not separated by distinct boundaries, symbolizing deep closeness, where each remains unique but opens up to the other.</p>
<p>The bright accents of yellow, pink, and orange reflect the emotional exchange and passion that emerge in such moments. This piece is about the subtle, invisible interaction happening on the level of feelings and energy, where words are no longer necessary.</p><p>The post <a href="https://mariskakun.com/product/linear-love-2/">LINEAR LOVE</a> first appeared on <a href="https://mariskakun.com"></a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“’A View from Within’ is an attempt to convey the inner world through abstract forms and lines, to show how I perceive space, emotions, and thoughts within myself. These flowing, winding lines seem to reflect the movement of consciousness, its chaos and, at the same time, harmony. I worked on each element for over 40 hours, striving to capture the moment when the external connects with the internal, when sensations become visual forms.</p>
<p>Each shape and color is a metaphor for feelings and impressions. The red and orange bursts represent energy, sexuality, and internal impulses, while the softer pastel tones symbolize calmness, reflection, and a deep connection with oneself. The lines, like threads, link the elements, creating invisible connections between feelings and thoughts, between body and mind.</p>
<p>‘A View from Within’ is not just a painting, it is a visual diary of emotions, streams of consciousness, and self-reflection, which I reveal to the world, allowing the viewer to glimpse into my inner world.”</p>
<p>The artwork is created with high-quality oil paints on canvas.<br />

The dark background creates a dramatic contrast, highlighting the delicate lines of her body and conveying a sense of calm and vulnerability. The colors gently blend, playing with light and shadow, adding depth to the image and giving the figure an almost sculptural quality.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In creating this artwork, I delved deeply into the abstract and expressive realms, using oil, oil pastel, and colored pencils to weave a tapestry of emotions on paper. The flowing lines and vibrant forms represent the complexities of human emotions and connections. Each stroke and color choice embodies a piece of a larger emotional narrative, inviting viewers to explore the depths of their own feelings. This artwork is meant to provoke reflection and add a dynamic, thought-provoking element to any space.</p><p>The post <a href="https://mariskakun.com/product/inside-view/">INSIDE VIEW</a> first appeared on <a href="https://mariskakun.com"></a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>
