yellow door (#architecture series) Painting

There is one very practical word in Russian language - PODYEZD. We call podyezd the area of a building section between the main entrance to the building and the entrance to the apartment. This is applicable to residential buildings. In podyezd you can find mailing boxes, staircases-if the house has many levels. This podyezd was painted in 2021. It is the same area as in my artworks "Blue staircase" and "Green staircase", where our family's friends stayed - Roza and Svetlana. You can also notice mailing boxes on the right side of the door. This particular artwork is a part of my #architecture series. 

I started working on #architecture series during summertime in 2021. Mostly I was inspired by buildings created during Soviet era. There are many residential buildings constructed in "Stalinki" style which is pretty iconic in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. "Stalinki" residential buildings have spacious rooms, deep basement, and all of them were built from bricks. I love walking around the city and taking pictures of all buildings, that I find attractive. I use my photographs as a reference. My #architecture series started with house, where I grow up. It was built in 1957. Survived the strongest earthquake in 1966. It was designed by architect Alexander Viktorovich Yakushev. House № 22 is located at the intersection of Pushkin and Khamid Alimdzhan street.
