Captivity (2025)Acrylic painting by Maria Kireev

In this acrylic painting, I've sought to convey a poignant contrast between confinement and natural beauty. Capturing oranges ensnared within a plastic bag, I explore themes of restriction and resilience. Through the interplay of shadow and light, each stroke emphasizes the delicate yet defiant burst of color against the enveloping darkness, inviting reflection on freedom and the often overlooked grace in everyday objects. This piece inspires a dialogue about the subtle yet persistent strength found in the natural world.
