Mother Daughter Original Painting (2026)Acrylic painting by Halyna Kirichenko

" Where I Am Safe" artwork from Series " Between Generations"

They are close, as if the world has paused around them. The mother’s presence is calm and steady — not a gesture, but a state of being. The girl leans into her, trusting that here nothing needs to be explained, that being near is enough.

This moment is built on silence, on care that does not demand words. It speaks of love as responsibility, of protection that is felt rather than declared. Within this closeness, safety becomes something learned — something that quietly shapes how a child understands the world.

But is every child given such a place? Does every child feel protected, understood, and supported within their family? And where does safety truly begin — in the arms of another, or in the love we are taught to carry within ourselves?

Series Between Generations

In the series Between Generations, Ukrainian figurative artist Halyna Kirichenko explores family life as a space where personal histories, values, and life choices are quietly formed and passed on. Family is portrayed not only as a social unit, but as an intimate emotional territory shaped by care, responsibility, vulnerability, and love.
Through symbolic figurative scenes, the artist reflects on relationships between parents and children, the continuity of generations, and the invisible threads that connect individual destinies. These works consider how major life decisions, inner transformations, and historical realities are experienced within the family and carried forward across time.

Between Generations invites the viewer into a contemplative dialogue about belonging, memory, and the silent influence of those who came before us.
