Embraced by the Waves (2025) Original Oil Painting by Yuliia Kyrsanova

The painting depicts a young mermaid whose features gently emerge through the shimmering play of water and light. Her face, soft and thoughtful, seems to dissolve into the sea breeze, while her deep gaze is directed somewhere beyond the visible horizon. There is no mystical enigma in her appearance—she is simply a girl who belongs to the ocean, accustomed to the sound of the waves and the dance of sunlight on the water’s surface.

Her hair blends with the currents, creating a sense of lightness and movement, while splashes of white foam evoke the playful touch of the sea breeze. The colors of the painting are soft and restrained, filled with natural shades of sand, sky, and the deep blue of the ocean. There is no unsettling mystery or magic in this image—only tranquility and a profound harmony with the sea, her true home.
