Junija Galejeva "I feel you are wondering: what does it mean to be a color? Color is the tone of the eye, the music of the deaf, a cry in the dark" (Orhan Panuk)

Junija's artistic work is a complete immersion in a sea of ​vibrant colors, the viewer is completely transported by the current of them, as in a shipwreck one is catapulted into a whirlwind of emotions. Fullbodied brushstrokes, pasty and vivid colors play the role of protagonists on the stage of the canvas, light tones that contrast with dark and gloomy brushstrokes, contrasts of tones, light and shadow, are characteristics that make Junija's works strongly evocative and suggestive. Like Friedrich's "The wanderer on the sea of ​fog", so the viewer feels in front of Junija's works: overwhelmed by the sublime. In fact, the artist's work could be defined as a "romantic abstract", there is no presence of real forms, only colors disconnected from any constraint, therefore abstract, and it is at the same time romantic because it arouses deep feelings.
