[Focus] – Konstantin Zmogk Danilov, “Integration 002” (2023)

Acrylic on canvas, 150 × 100 × 2.5 cm

Created by Konstantin Zmogk Danilov, “Integration 002” reflects different stages of belonging within a new social environment. One yellow-orange form is already merging with the surrounding blue, suggesting adaptation and integration. Nearby, another fragment remains exposed, pressed against a dense dark blue mass, where the contrast makes the feeling of isolation easy to sense.

The composition stays restrained and controlled, letting color and proximity do the work. A thin linear trace runs through the surface, hinting at a fragile connection to the past, a reminder that even as we adapt, something familiar often remains.

Rather than telling a dramatic story, the painting holds onto this in-between state, where adjustment is ongoing and belonging is still being negotiated.
