Artist Comments
A woman enjoys a serene moment, sipping tea amid flourishing nature. The vivid colors and charm of the scene evoke the warmth and tranquility of a quiet morning. This silk painting is part of artist Yelena Sidorova's Figurative Series, celebrating simple pleasures in a lively, dreamy ambiance. She created the piece using acrylics and dyes, applying black and gold resist to control the colors from spreading. As a final step, Yelena steamed the painting to protect and preserve its brilliance.
