"The Desire for Gold" is an evocative abstract oil painting, featuring the dual visages of fish with a compelling contrast of colors and textures. The canvas is divided diagonally, bisecting the two fish—one rendered in cool, serene blues with a singular red eye that draws immediate attention, and the other in earthy, golden tones marked by a deep, black eye. The blue fish seems to swim in a realm of calm and tranquility, its scales reflecting the light and colors of its environment with a suggestion of fluidity and grace. Its red eye is a striking feature, symbolizing perhaps passion, desire, or life within the cool expanse of its blue world. Conversely, the gold-toned fish imbues the piece with a sense of richness and value, its texture giving the appearance of precious metal, and its dark, empty eye might represent the void of unfulfilled desire or the depth of the ocean's mysteries. This artistic juxtaposition may evoke a narrative about the pursuit of wealth versus the essence of life, or the allure of material versus spiritual wealth. The textured application of paint enhances the tactile quality of the image, giving the impression that these creatures could be felt if one reached out to touch them. The diagonal separation of color and texture adds dynamic tension to the piece, suggesting a balance or a struggle between two opposing forces or desires. "The Desire for Gold" might invite the viewer to reflect on the dichotomy between natural beauty and the human quest for material gain, or the inherent value found in the simplicity of nature contrasted with the complexity of human ambition.

About the artist: Sergei Voichenko is a person whose studies began and ended at a children's art school (CHS). He considers himself a true amateur and, as an artist, develops easily, quickly, with pleasure and independently.

The process of creativity and constant search brings him pleasure. Sergei does not have one theme for drawing, and also does not have one style in his painting.
