about this painting:

LONELINESS

Choice of loneliness

It seems that loneliness takes an entirely different social attitude. It is not the condition that people try to avoid any longer. Just on the contrary. It is normal when you decide to be lonely. When choice is made for you, this is surely not pleasant. Link Afremov enters the discussion on the subject and creates his “Loneliness”.

The person stands near the door and looks out through the glass wall. The façade is lit well and glass seems to separate him from different kind of life: where he shares life with dear person. What does he see at this moment? A house full of kids? A darling kissing good night? A party in a close circle of friends? This picture can be different and depends upon our understanding of happiness. Afremov paintings just let our creativity work at this moment.

We can’t say for certain how the person on the canvas feels about his condition. These details are skipped and we can only guess about it. Anyway, loneliness is far from being a positive word so there is still sadness in it. And it does not depend upon the number of people around you. Sometimes the person can be lonely in a crowd.

Loneliness in modern society

People who has no family, become more and more accustomed to being lonely. They do not feel losers at that. This is a new thing in a contemporary society. Creation of a family was necessary before. It was regarded as a purpose of the person: to give birth to kids. With development of society, better income, high level of medicine and different lifestyle, loneliness is not a problem in modern society. This is a decision of the person to be alone if he has not met the only one or for some reason cannot be with him/her. Afremov Leonid let us think about the problem and does not impose his vision as any Impressionist artist.

Lonely people: who are they?

More people are aimed at career nowadays. They try to become successful in business and think that this life can be a substitute of family life. Family kids is regarded as something unwanted that can ruin your plans at any moment.
