“Moment” (2025)Oil painting by Alena Panchishin

This painting captures the exact moment when stillness is gently disturbed. A single drop touches the surface of water, creating expanding circles that move outward with quiet precision. Above the surface, light and air feel calm and almost suspended; below, submerged stones emerge through layers of transparent blue and green, revealing a hidden world beneath the calm exterior.

The composition invites the viewer to look both inward and downward — into depth, memory, and silence. The water is not only a physical element here, but a metaphor for sensitivity and awareness. Every ripple becomes a consequence of a small action, reminding us how even the lightest touch can resonate far beyond its origin.

The restrained color palette enhances the sense of tranquility, while soft transitions and reflections create a meditative rhythm. This work speaks about balance, fragility, and the invisible connections between surface and depth — a visual pause in a fast-moving world.
