About the Item

Every afternoon on Oahu’s North Shore, a small tidal pool forms among the rocks. As the ocean rises, it fills this natural basin with warm, calm water — deep enough for swimming. Locals know this spot well. In winter, when most beaches are closed due to large surf, this is often the only place where families can swim safely. People come here with children, dogs, or simply to sit quietly in the sunlit water. Even during storms, this pool remains peaceful. "While working on this painting, I thought of the old Italian masters who painted bathers in hidden coves, and of the Impressionists who captured light and fleeting moments. This scene depicts a rare moment when a single cloud passed over the sun, casting a brief shadow across the rocks and figures — a welcome softness in the intensity of the Hawaiian light.", said Daria about this artwork. Painted in warm, airy tones, the work would look especially elegant on a small wall, in a wide, museum-style frame. Daria Molostnova lives and works in Hawaii, where she discovered the true beauty of the surrounding world. Her paintings reflect the local reality, expressed through her personal cultural code. A graduate of the Russian State University of Design and Applied Arts named Stroganoff, she earned her master's degree, blending the traditions of classical education with a contemporary artistic perspective. Daria grew up in a family of professional artists, her mother being a renowned designer and lead doll artist of the Soviet Union. Since 1997, Daria has been a member of the Moscow Union of Artists, and since 1998, a member of the International Union of Journalists. She has taught at the Russian-Italian Art School Perotti and the Correspondence People's University of Arts. She has conducted numerous workshops both in Russia and abroad, as well as team-building activities for companies such as Harpers Bazaar, Mercedes, and Coca-Cola. Daria has participated in international artist residencies in such countries as Bosnia, France, and Italy. She is a participant in many Russian and international art fairs, competitions, and exhibitions. Currently, she collaborates with galleries in Hawaii and California. Her works are held in several Russian museums, as well as in private collections both in Russia and abroad. Daria's paintings are a fusion of flawless craftsmanship and a vivid sense of life that her work conveys. The inspiration and light embedded in her paintings will stay with you if you become their owner. The team of curators of the Art-S-Gallery.
