Light in the Pupils of the Eyes (2025) Original Oil Painting by Zhanar Sagidolla

35 x 35 x 2cm (unframed) / 35 x 35cm (actual image size)

£453.01

This oil painting on canvas (35 × 35 cm) captures an intimate close-up where emotion is concentrated in a single, powerful detail — the eyes.

The composition draws the viewer in immediately, with luminous pupils reflecting delicate butterfly forms and warm golden light. These reflections transform the gaze into something symbolic — a space where inner thoughts, dreams, and perception begin to unfold.

The oversized eyes create a sense of heightened awareness, almost childlike yet deeply introspective. The soft skin tones contrast with the intensity of the gaze, balancing vulnerability with quiet strength.

This work explores the idea that what we see is shaped not only by the world around us, but by what we carry внутри — memory, imagination, and emotion.

Rather than telling a story directly, the painting invites the viewer into a moment of stillness, where attention shifts inward and perception becomes personal.

Ideal for collectors drawn to contemporary figurative art with a surreal or symbolic edge. This piece resonates with those who are attracted to expressive faces, dreamlike imagery, and emotionally charged compositions.

Perfect for modern interiors, bedrooms, or creative spaces, this painting acts as a focal point — a work that captures attention and holds it.
