Kolokolov A.’s painting, entitled “ Merry melody,” is a captivating journey into the world of circus magic, music, and sincere emotions. In his unique manner, the artist creates a bright and memorable canvas that radiates energy and optimism. There is no place for sadness or longing in this work; unbridled fun and sincere joy reign supreme.

At the center of the composition are three figures: a clown with a violin, a clown with a guitar, and, as if a connecting link between them, a teenage clown holding a flower. They are all dressed in bright, colorful costumes, sewn from scraps of fabric, which give them a special flair and charm. The clowns’ faces are painted in the traditional circus style: red noses, white faces, bright lips. However, behind these masks, human emotions shine through: joy, surprise, delight.

The clown with the violin, positioned on the left, plays his instrument with passion. His face expresses deep concentration and ardor. It seems that the violin in his hands is an extension of his soul, and he extracts from it not just sounds, but a true melody, full of life and energy. The clown with the guitar, positioned on the right, sings along, accompanying him on his instrument. His face is lit up with a smile, and his eyes sparkle with joy. He seems to be enjoying the music and his participation in this small performance.

The teenage clown, located in the center of the composition, holds a flower in his hand. His face expresses tenderness and purity. He is like a symbol of hope and the future. The flower in his hand is a symbol of beauty and life, a symbol that even in the world of clowning there is a place for sincere feelings and emotions. Perhaps he is a viewer, a listener, inspired by this merry melody.

Kolokolov uses a rich, bright color palette. Blue, red, yellow, and green tones dominate, creating a sense of celebration and carnival. The artist skillfully combines contrasting shades, creating a dynamic and expressive effect.
