Here is a portrait of the composer Oleg Karavaichuk, the author of the concert, with whom Dmitry Prokopovich shares the title of the canvas. The side of the luxurious grand piano is decorated with a scene of contemplation — an indication of the high level of the music being played by the artist. The slightly pretentious decor of the piano serves as contrast to the simplicity of the chair, on which the composer is placed. His posture looks relaxed; the image itself is detached and tense at the same time: this is a man completely immersed in the sound flow.
