Keeper of Secrets (2024)Mixed-media painting by Alexandra Jagoda (Ovcharenko)

This whimsical mixed media artwork tells a poetic visual story of quiet connection and inner worlds. A woman in a red polka-dot dress gently holds a small blue bird, while symbolic elements—bells, flowers, and antique keys—float around her, entangled in delicate vines. The dreamlike composition and soft textures evoke a sense of intimacy, wonder, and mystery. Layered brushwork and vibrant color contrasts blend figuration with fantasy, making this piece a striking and thought-provoking addition to any collection.

I used ink, collage, charcoal, pencils, markers and acrylic paint.
