Peculiar Outdoor Leisure Paintings

Agaphya Belaja Illustrates Surreal Pictures of Wondrous Locales

— December 29, 2011 — Art & Design
These Agaphya Belaja illustrations don’t fall under the full-blown surreal category, but they also aren’t entirely true to life either. Sure, the artist's subjects seem ordinary enough, but the backdrops in these peculiar paintings all seem dream-like, with their predominantly pink hues and contorted vegetation. One image even features a hedge maze similar to the one found in The Shining, though all the trees within that maze are inexplicably blue rather than green. It’s this mix of the familiar with a total disregard for real-life color schemes that make this Russian artist’s work a true treat for people’s ocular senses.

Agaphya Belaja currently resides and works in St. Petersberg. Most of the subjects in her paintings are dressed in white apparel and are seen frolicking about in a graceful manner.
Trend Themes
1. Surreal Landscape Art - Opportunity to create disruptive innovations in the art industry by incorporating surreal elements into landscape paintings
2. Dream-like Hues - Opportunity to develop disruptive innovations in the paint and pigment industry by creating colors that mimic dream-like, unnatural hues
3. White Apparel - Opportunity to develop disruptive innovations in the fashion industry by capitalizing on the trend of white apparel seen in Agaphya Belaja's artwork
Industry Implications
1. Art - Agaphya Belaja's unique style of surreal landscape art heralds new opportunities for innovation in the art world.
2. Paint and Pigments - There is a major potential for disruptive innovation in the industry that creates paint and pigments by developing colors and hues to achieve the same dream-like effects that make Agaphya Belaja's paintings so unique.
3. Fashion - Agaphya Belaja's often white apparel can inspire fashion industry professionals to create innovative clothing lines focusing on white apparel.
