Ballerinas (2024)Oil painting by Elena Sokolova

Three ballerinas are depicted in a dynamic pose, seemingly in mid-movement.
The ballerinas are rendered with light, muted colors. Skin tones are pale and rosy, and the tutus are in shades of pastel pink, peach, and white, giving them a soft appearance. The outfits suggest the light-catching qualities of the fabric often used in ballet attire. The detailing of the tutus, especially the ruffles and folds, are painted with visible brushstrokes, conveying a sense of texture and movement.
The background is a dark purplish-blue, which creates a strong contrast that emphasizes the ballerinas.
The perspective seems slightly elevated, capturing the ballerinas in a full view. The details in the faces and bodies suggest a focus on ballet aesthetics and the graceful motion of the dancers. The overall style hints at oil painting, with softness in the colors and visible brushstrokes.
