Game

Tatyana Palchuk Biography

In this surreal-realistic composition, the theme of “Life is a game” resonates strongly. The figures resemble peacocks, with men displaying themselves before a woman whose profile and posture also evoke a bird-like quality. Is it flirting or a competitive pursuit? Who will receive the coveted “victory ball” from the woman’s hands? The scene is vibrant, glossy, and enigmatic, with the victory ball complementing the beads adorning the woman’s neck. Ultimately, life is portrayed as a theater, a grand stage where games are played, a recurring motif in T. Palchuk’s symbol-laden paintings.
