Hearts A Mess (2026) Original Watercolour by Julia Ustinovich

Somewhere between letting go and holding on, there is a moment that belongs to no one but ourselves.

A body folds into light and shadow, its curves tracing a quiet, unfinished thought. Warm hues dissolve into cool blues and violets; edges appear and disappear, as if the figure were emerging from a memory rather than from the paper itself.

I wanted to capture something fleeting - not quite a gesture, not quite a feeling, but the space where the two become indistinguishable.

Painted in watercolor, where nothing can be entirely controlled and every layer carries a trace of what came before.
