Abstract oil painting Labyrinth (based on...

Lyubov Popova) V. Konotopsky. ?1663

In "Labyrinth," Ukrainian artist Viktor Konotopsky draws inspiration from Lyubov Popova’s dynamic spatial constructions, creating a fragmented architectural world filled with tension and rhythm. Geometric forms—stairs, arches, angular planes—interlock in a disorienting yet mesmerizing space, where direction feels both possible and elusive. The words VER and SAL partially surface through the abstraction, hinting at ideas of truth (veritas) and salvation, or possibly fragmentation of language itself. The muted palette of browns, ochres, and pale reds enhances the sense of internal search, while the curved lines and rising stairs suggest motion, introspection, and an ongoing journey through complexity. The flower motif in the corner offers a fragile counterpoint to the angular dominance—a symbol of life among structures. Through Labyrinth, Konotopsky reflects on the modern human condition—lost in systems, searching for meaning, and navigating layered spaces of identity and thought.
