Original artwork description:

Underwater Disneyland. A new castle for Triton.

In the painting the artist is in the center of the composition, floating in the bottomless depths of the ocean. Her figure is gracefully immersed in the water, and an amazing underwater world full of life and magic unfolds around her. A woman sees Disneyland France underwater.

Mischievous dolphins are frolicking in the water column. The ocean floor is dotted with colorful pebbles and bizarre marine flowers, as if nature itself created a palette for the artist. Colorful fish swim among coral reefs, their bright scales shimmer in the light, creating a fireworks effect.

On a throne of seashells and corals sits Triton, the king of the ocean. His majestic figure is surrounded by mermaid daughters.

Instead of the traditional Triton Castle, the artist chose the Parisian Notre-Dame de Paris for his painting, which in this context becomes the new palace of the ocean lord. It is a symbol of the greatness of human creativity and architectural genius. In the context of the painting, the cathedral becomes a bridge between two worlds: the world of humans and the world of sea creatures. He emphasizes the idea that art can connect different realities and create new meanings. Its Gothic architecture with high arches stands in amazing contrast to the underwater world, creating a unique symbiosis between two cultures - terrestrial and aquatic.

The painting symbolizes the unity of nature and art, as well as human interaction with the outside world. A woman diving into the ocean embodies the desire to explore the unknown, to discover new horizons. Triton and his daughters represent the guardians of the fairy tale world, reminding us that even in the deepest waters beauty and magic are hidden.

The originality of the painting lies in the bold combination of elements of surrealism with famous architectural monuments. This creates a unique visual experience where reality is intertwined with imagination. The artist does not just depict the underwater world - he creates a new myth about mermaids, which combines elements of culture and nature, leaving the viewer with questions about the boundaries between these worlds.

I present a series of paintings "A Fairy tale in my Life" in which reality collides with a fairy tale come to life. In my works, I strive to create a unique space where classical art is intertwined with vivid cartoon characters, fairy tales and fantasy films. These characters seem to break into the daily flow of events, bringing with them irony and a bit of chaos, turning the familiar world upside down.

Since childhood, I dreamed that dolls would be alive, so that they could talk and move. One of my favorite movies, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, was a real revelation to me. In this film, cartoon characters live with people, and this idea has always fascinated me. I often fantasized about what would happen if my favorite characters lived next to us, interacted with our reality, disrupting the usual order of things.

In the process of creating this series of paintings, I realized that even though I had grown up, cartoons and fairy-tale worlds still occupy an important place in my life. They remind me of how important it is to keep a childlike sincerity and the ability to be surprised. Each work is an attempt to capture this amazing moment when two worlds meet: the real and the fabulous, where boundaries blur and the mundane becomes magical.

I hope that my paintings can inspire viewers to think about how a miracle can exist next to us, if only we are ready to see it.
