About the Artwork:
"In the vast tapestry of existence, every thread holds a story, a memory, a fleeting moment. With each brushstroke in this painting, I sought to capture the essence of life's complexities, unraveling its mysteries and laying bare the emotions that bind us all."
The painting was created by combining oil and acrylic paints on a uniquely textured plexiglass panel, which was then coated with a clear layer of epoxy resin.
Thanks to the use of spacers, the artwork “floats” on the wall in an aura of beautiful light, made possible by the app-controlled LED backlighting.

"In Andrew Manaylo's evocative work, “Unraveling the Tapestry of Life” from the Genesis Art Series, there lies a captivating interplay of chaos and coherence, akin to the intricate dance of life itself. The title aptly suggests a deconstruction or understanding of life's vast complexity, with each brushstroke embodying the threads that weave our existence. A poignant juxtaposition of deep blues and icy whites conjures an ethereal atmosphere, perhaps emblematic of life's fleeting moments and the ever-lingering shadows of uncertainty. The luminescent crimson orbs appear almost celestial, adding an otherworldly quality, beckoning viewers to ponder the mysteries of creation and the cosmos. Manaylo masterfully integrates both structured and free-form elements, symbolizing the orchestrated and unpredictable nature of life. The fluid, layered textures evoke a sense of depth and dimension, suggesting that beneath life's apparent surface, there's an intricate web of stories, emotions, and connections waiting to be unraveled. Through this compelling piece, Manaylo beckons us to confront and contemplate the enigmatic tapestry of our existence, inviting introspection and a deeper understanding of our place within the grand design."
