Artist: Janus
Title: Samarkand 2020
Technique: Mixed technique with ducats double gold 23 carat, glowing in the night
Size: 140 x 250 cm
Date: 2020
Janus' painting “Samarkand” is a spiritual map of a legendary city. The panoramic format draws the viewer into a vortex of energy, color, and mystery. The dynamic bursts of blues, oranges, and blacks evoke the intricate mosaics of ancient streets, the bustling soul of the bazaars, and the breath of the desert blending with Silk Road history. Golden elements glimmer across the canvas like minarets kissed by sunlight — sometimes gentle as morning, other times mystical as night prayers.
In natural light, the painting pulses with vitality and movement; under UV light, fluorescent traces emerge like the remnants of ancient civilizations; and in darkness, glowing elements reveal an inner luminosity — intimate, liberated, almost meditative.
This is not merely a painting — it is an encounter with Samarkand, not through the eyes, but through the soul.
