About the artwork
In Amor, Bobkin captures a remarkable tension — a subtle play of distance and connection between figures that seem to be in dialogue with one another. The palpable tension is heightened by the striking, animal-like red silhouette that immediately draws the eye. This fiery red pulses like a heartbeat across the grey canvas, creating a vivid contrast that adds warmth and emotion. It may symbolize the passion and desire that flare up within us unexpectedly, even in moments of silence.

Behind this interaction drifts a shadowy observer, a quiet onlooker watching from afar. This figure embodies either the critical gaze of the outside world or that inner voice of judgment that lingers, even in the most intimate moments. Amor tells not only a story of love, but also of the tension between giving and receiving, and between being seen and remaining hidden. The work invites us to reflect on love as a complex game — one filled with longing and secrets that may never be fully revealed.

About the artist
Alexander Bobkin (1952), born in Siberia and based in Nijmegen since 1991, is an artist whose paintings trace a fascinating journey along the boundaries of reality. His works are imbued with a spiritual and mystical atmosphere, transforming the everyday into a source of profound meaning.
Ordinary objects and encounters — the sorrow of a weeping hare, the presence of a glass of water, or fleeting human interactions — are elevated into symbolic stories, rendered in oil on large, striking canvases.
Bobkin’s art is not merely a reflection of the world around us, but a passage into the essence of our cultural heritage. His paintings serve as windows to the human soul, bridging the ordinary and the transcendent, and anchoring mysticism in paint.
His unique vision invites viewers to explore the deeper layers of life, uncover hidden meanings, and embrace the mysteries of existence. Today, his works are part of museum, gallery, and private collections worldwide.
