ITEM DETAILS The edges are painted Some parts of the picture glow under blue light The painting was part of an exhibition 'Ancestral call' in Switzerland ABOUT THE ARTWORK On this canvas is the portrait of a woman deeply immersed in her inner emotions. Her thoughts not only accompany her but also shape the world around her, infusing it with explosive passion and glow. This woman doesn't just exist in her space - she creates it, reflecting her deepest emotions and thoughts. The inspiration for this artwork comes from an intimate moment of experiencing feelings of love and uncertainty. It's a time of sweet longing for a loved one when the heart is filled with anticipation of meeting and dreams of a future together. The artist behind this painting invites the viewer not only to observe what's on the canvas but also to experience these emotions with the protagonist. It's an invitation to rediscover those warm feelings of budding love, to feel love and empathy, and to embrace the possibility of being sensitive and open to the world. ABOUT ARTIST Olha Vlasova...

"Reflections at Dawn" is the latest contemplative addition to my "Thoughts" series. This triptych, measuring 100x60 cm, is crafted with acrylic paints on canvas, enhanced with oil pastel techniques, embodying my ongoing exploration into the depths of the feminine soul and its interplay with the universe. The painting portrays a young woman seated in the forest, symbolizing reflection and introspection. Her nude form speaks to vulnerability and a readiness to open her heart to the world. Engrossed in her thoughts, she may be recalling the past or dreaming of the future, her musings remaining untold. Adorning her shoulder is a Scythian-era symbol of the universe and the sun, a reminder that we are all part of something larger and an infinite cycle of life. The sunflowers and poppies leaning over her are taken from traditional Ukrainian ornaments, carrying the symbolism of the sun, blood, and rebirth. This work reflects on how femininity is intertwined with nature and cultural symbols passed down through generations. It represents my search for profound meanings and connection with antiquity while highlighting the significance of the female experience in the contemporary world. "Reflections at Dawn" is more than a piece of art; it is a personal symbolic journey towards understanding the essence of existence. ABOUT ARTIST: Tetiana Pchelnykova...

In "Harmony in Bloom," my latest canvas comes to life, capturing a serene moment of coexistence between a woman, her loyal companion, and the enduring forces of nature. Set against the backdrop of her home, nestled within the tranquil embrace of the grass, the scene is a contemplation of the symbiotic relationship we share with our environment. The Tree of Life stands symbolic in the background, its branches reaching skyward in a silent testament to our interconnectedness with the world around us. The flora and fauna, depicted in a primitive style with traditional folk ornaments, burst with vibrancy, representing the earth's raw beauty and the cultural tapestry that weaves through our daily lives. Upon the woman's shoulder, an ancient Kyivan Rus’ diamond ornament signifies the union of the sun and earth, a symbol of fertility and the cycle of life. This emblem, steeped in tradition, is a nod to the deep-rooted beliefs that ground us and remind us of our place within the natural world. This painting, from my ongoing exploration into the essence of femininity and its role within the cycle of life, reflects a deep appreciation for our ancestral heritage. "Harmony in Bloom" is not only an artistic expression of the enduring bond between humanity and nature but also an intimate portrayal of the woman as a creator of life and a guardian of ancient wisdom.

In my latest work from the 'Thoughts' series, titled 'Serenity of Essence', I once again delve into the profound world of feminine reflections. On this 60x80 cm canvas, painted with acrylics, I depicted a seated young woman with a cat resting beside her. This image creates an atmosphere of tranquility and deep contemplation, characteristic of my series. The background of the painting reveals a view of hills and trees, the leaves of which are adorned with ornaments, adding sophistication to the composition. The symbol of infinity on the woman's shoulder is not just decorative; it symbolizes the endlessness of existence and unity with nature. The flowers and grasses in the meadow are depicted symbolically and graphically, creating a visual rhythm that engages and leads the viewer through various levels of perception. 'Serenity of Essence' is not just a painting; it is my perspective on feminine self-discovery and inner harmony. This canvas is an invitation for viewers to feel at one with nature, find peace in their thoughts, and discover the deep symbols of feminine existence. In this work, I once again demonstrate my vision and ability to transform philosophical themes into visual metaphors that resonate with the soul ABOUT ARTIST: Tetiana Pchelnykova...

From the new series " Self-awareness," we present "Interstice of Worlds," a painting that immerses the viewer in a realm of emotional resonance and symbolic representation of time. Crafted with a blend of oil and acrylic on canvas, it portrays a woman with intertwined hands, embodying a longing for the ineffable. Beside her sits a dog with a bowed head, in silent solidarity, sharing in the unspoken yearning of its owner. The backdrop of this scene is the symbolic collision of day and night, depicted through the lunar phases suspended in the night sky and a rainbow heralding the daylight. This not only reflects the passage of time but also the internal dualities of human nature, the eternal struggle between light and darkness that each of us faces. "Interstice of Worlds" evokes philosophical contemplation on how we perceive time and experience loss, our capacity for feeling and expressing emotions. The painting invites gallery visitors to a profound introspection and understanding of life's transitions. It dialogues between the inner world of the individual and the universal cycles, between personal longing and the collective sentiments of humanity." This piece is an expressive continuation of the thematic exploration of self-identification, viewing the woman not as a static symbol but as a dynamic being, living and breathing in the perpetual rhythm of the Universe.

In the serene stillness of "Slumbering Spirit," part of my contemplative "Thoughts" series, I explore the profound quietude of rest. The painting captures a woman in repose, the very image of tranquility as she lies beneath the delicate branches of a young apple tree, her sleep undisturbed by the world's whispers. The ancient symbols etched upon her shoulder speak of "spirit," hinting at the unseen energy that animates us all, even in our most restful moments. This slumbering form is a sanctuary of peace, her dreams a hidden realm where the spirit roams free. Above her, the apple branches bow gently, a nod to the biblical Eve's apple, symbolizing knowledge, temptation, and the duality of innocence and awareness. It is a fruit laden with the weight of history, yet here it is presented anew, in a light untainted by the past's shadows. This work is an invitation to pause, to reflect on the spirit within and the nature that surrounds us, to find the sacred in the everyday. "Slumbering Spirit" is a celebration of the inner quiet that nourishes the soul and a recognition of the profound narratives that sleep can tell. ABOUT ARTIST: Tetiana Pchelnykova...

"Journey Home: Preserving Serenity" by Tetiana Pchelnikova is an embodiment of her continuous and profound contemplation of the role of women in society, expressed in visually rich works imbued with symbolism and philosophical resonance. This piece from her "Existence" series carries the magic of intuitive understanding of the feminine essence, intertwined with themes of eternity, self-identification, and a deep connection with nature. In this work, Pchelnikova employs a mixed technique of acrylic paints and oil pastel graphics, creating a multi-layered visual language that embodies her vision. The canvas size of 50x50 cm with gallery stretching . This piece deeply reflects the artist's philosophy, where the woman is seen as the conduit of noble strength from past generations and the creator of family strength. It portrays the woman's journey towards self-discovery and maintaining inner peace, despite the challenges of the external world. Through her creation, Pchelnikova invites the viewer to reflect on the importance of connecting our past with the present, bridging tradition and innovation. This work opens a pathway to a deeper understanding of the modern world through the prism of philosophical ideas such as Existentialism and Phenomenology. "Journey Home: Preserving Serenity" is not just aesthetically appealing but also a powerful medium for reflection, self-discovery, and dialogue with the world through art.
