by Pavel Filin
“big love 2” is a soulful and deeply textured portrait that captures a candid, heartwarming connection between a young child and a large white rooster. The painting is a masterclass in contemporary impressionism, focusing on the raw, unfiltered emotions of childhood and the gentle bond shared with a spirited companion.
Rendered in Pavel Filin’s signature high-impasto style, the composition is a vibrant play of light and shadow. The child’s face, centered and gazing directly at the viewer with wide, expressive eyes, is modeled with a rich variety of flesh tones—from luminous creams and yellows to deep, earthy ochres. The rooster, nestled closely to the child's side, is a flurry of thick, sculptural white brushstrokes, punctuated by a bold, crimson-red comb that provides a striking focal point against the softer tones of the background.
The artist’s use of color and texture adds a sense of movement and vitality to the canvas. The background is an atmospheric blend of soft violets, greys, and warm browns, applied with broad, energetic strokes that make the central figures pop with a three-dimensional quality. The interplay between the child's soft features and the bird’s ruffled feathers creates a dynamic visual harmony that is both intimate and powerful.
The square 20 × 20 format provides a perfectly balanced frame for this charming narrative. Filin’s ability to combine raw, physical texture with such a tender subject makes “big love 2” a compelling and timeless study of innocence and companionship.
