Fika time (2025) Original Oil Painting by Ekaterina Dutkevich

This small oil on canvas celebrates the gentle ritual of pause and pleasure. Thick, expressive brushstrokes and a bright, candy-pink background frame a warm mug of coffee and a buttery croissant on a patterned tabletop, creating a joyful, intimate moment of everyday comfort. The painting balances bold outlines and textured impasto with playful color contrasts — the saturated pink and deep reds of the cup set against cool turquoise tiles — to evoke both the tactile warmth of hot coffee and the quiet ceremony of sharing a break. In Sweden, fika is a cherished daily ritual of taking time for coffee and a treat, reminding us that rest and connection are part of a balanced life.
