A Young Artist's Mother (2026) Original Watercolour by Elena Lykhodid

45.5 x 65.5 x 0.1cm (unframed) / 45.5 x 65.5cm (actual image size)

£683.22

​This work explores the intimate psychological landscape of motherhood, capturing a rare moment of stillness. The composition balances the vibrant energy of a child’s world — represented by the naive sketches on the table — with the mother’s profound inner reflection. Her gaze, directed beyond the frame, invites the viewer to contemplate the delicate tension between maternal devotion and the preservation of one’s own identity.

​Technically, the piece is executed in a contemporary figurative style with impressionistic influences, utilizing fluid watercolor washes contrasted with confident, expressive brushwork. The palette of muted silver-grey tones is punctuated by the symbolic vitality of yellow daffodils and willow branches, signifying spring, hope, and the quiet awakening of the inner self.
