Between the City and the Dream (2026)Oil painting by Olha Darchuk

"Between the City and the Dream" is a 100% handmade, high-quality oil painting on canvas. It's perfect for interiors or as a gift. It will decorate your space and bring joy to you and your loved ones for a long time. Ready to hang.

This work is about a moment of inner stillness before moving forward. It reflects the state of being between the familiar world and the quiet call that leads one further ahead. The glowing city symbolizes opportunities and lived experience, the water represents emotions and memory, and the horizon stands for the dream the heart reaches toward.

The female figure, turned away from the viewer, allows everyone to see themselves in her. The vibrant dress conveys vitality and life energy, while the blue ribbon symbolizes balance, hope, and an inner connection to one's own path.

The painting is created entirely with a palette knife, featuring rich texture and deep colors that shift with the light, creating a sense of movement and space.
