Dear Destiny (2025)Oil painting by Yuliia Kyrsanova

She is not merely a portrait — she is a sign, the embodiment of what lies beyond the ordinary gaze. The woman in the painting seems woven from mist and light, her face a quiet center where memory and dream converge. She does not belong to reality: she is not a specific heroine but a symbol — a symbol of femininity, mystery, and gentle strength.
The red and bluish-gray tones around her are not just background but the very breath of the painting: they create an aura in which the woman becomes an eternal image — of Madonna, Muse, Ghost, or Memory. She is not “she” but the embodiment of the idea of the feminine itself: tender and powerful, fleeting and eternal at once.
That is why the figure is not fully defined — she cannot be held, just as one cannot hold onto a dream or a moment. She slips away, remaining a symbol of what lives eternally within us: the longing for beauty, for mystery, for the understanding of the feminine essence.
