Helen. Waiting for an Answer (2018) Original Watercolour by Sergey Kostov

A nude young woman, whose vulnerable nakedness symbolizes absolute sincerity and defenselessness in the face of a nascent feeling. Her hands are raised to her face, and her fingers are tenderly crossed, conveying a bated breath. This gesture is the very locus of hope for reciprocity, a fragile belief that her secret romantic impulse will be heard and shared. A filigree line outlines the silhouette, emphasizing the contrast between the naked body and the closed, protective gesture of the hands. In her half-closed eyes and the faint curve of her lips, one reads not fear, but a deep, hidden anticipation of a miracle. The artist has masterfully captured the moment of ultimate emotional tension, when the heroine's entire life has narrowed down to a single desperate and pure hope: to be loved in return
