Genesis (2026) Original Oil Painting by Victoria Saint

91 x 111 x 5cm (framed) / 80 x 100cm (actual image size)

£2,500

Genesis - captures the birth of thought, existence, and the unknown. At first glance, a skull dominates the composition - an emblem of mortality and the finite. Yet within its contours, the boundaries of life dissolve into an abstract landscape: swirling depths, shadowed abysses, and horizons tinged with light. Against this enigmatic terrain, a solitary woman’s silhouette stands at the horizon, a figure of quiet defiance and introspection. She faces the vast unknown, embodying curiosity, courage, and the fragile beauty of consciousness. The painting blurs the line between life and death, self and universe, reality and dream. The skull is no longer simply a symbol of endings - it becomes a vessel for beginnings, a genesis emerging from the abyss. Through abstraction, contrast, and form, Genesis invites the viewer to confront both the weight of mortality and the infinite potential of existence.
