Among the Grasses (2026) Original Oil Painting by Dina Volkova

This painting is part of my ongoing exploration of the space between abstraction and recognition. I begin with spontaneous sketches and intuitive marks, allowing forms to emerge gradually through the painting process rather than following a predetermined image.

Within the circular format, fragments of color, line, and light interact like elements of an unfolding visual conversation. Hints of figures, organic forms, and architectural structures appear and dissolve, creating a sense of movement and transformation. The central figure is not a portrait but a presence—an invitation to enter the painting and experience its shifting relationships.

I am interested in the moment when perception begins to organize uncertainty into meaning. Rather than telling a specific story, the work creates an open environment where memory, imagination, and observation can coexist. The circular canvas reinforces the feeling of entering a self-contained world, encouraging viewers to discover their own connections and narratives within its luminous space.
