“In Between” (2026) Original Oil Painting by Alena Panchishin

single drop breaks the surface, and the water responds. Expanding circles move outward in quiet rhythm, revealing what lies beneath: submerged stones, shifting light, depth and stillness. The moment is suspended between impact and calm, where motion is born and immediately begins to dissolve.

This painting explores the idea that even the smallest action changes the whole system. The surface appears serene, but below it everything is alive, layered, and in motion. It is not about drama or waves, but about presence, consequence, and the silent dialogue between stillness and movement.

The water here is both mirror and depth — a space for pause, reflection, and awareness of what cannot be seen at first glance.
