Light in the Shadow (2025)Oil painting
by Yuliia Kyrsanova

This piece combines soft blending techniques with expressive brushstrokes, revealing a delicate interplay between light and shadow.
The face seems to emerge from a swirl of color — ochres, warm browns, and golden hues — flowing into one another like a whisper of wind.
Each stroke doesn’t confine the form but rather dissolves it into space, evoking a sense of dream, memory, and gentle impermanence.
Here, color is not merely a tool of depiction but a living element of the story, conveying the inner light and breath of the figure.
The painting explores the border between reality and sensation, between the visible and the elusive — a quiet reminder of the fragility and beauty of fleeting moments.
