Journey to the Inner Abode (2024)Oil painting
by Tetiana Pchelnykova

"‘Journey to the Inner Abode’ is a reflective oil and oil pastel painting that invites viewers on a metaphorical voyage to the core of their being, represented here by a woman carrying a house – the quintessential symbol of home. Accompanied by a loyal dog, symbolizing trust and fidelity, they traverse a path to their dwelling, signifying the timeless quest for self and belonging. This piece echoes the philosophical teachings that one's true home is within oneself, a sanctuary of the spirit.
With light tones that symbolize hope and a better tomorrow, 'Journey to the Inner Abode' is not just a painting but a philosophical exploration of identity, home, and the paths we tread in search of our personal haven. It encourages a contemplation of our inner selves as the ultimate destination where one can find solace and meaning."
This piece serves as a visual allegory that encompasses the artist's exploration of self-identification and the deep-rooted connection to one’s lineage and the spiritual journey towards understanding and peace.
