“Pause” (2026) Original Oil Painting by Alena Panchishin

This original oil painting explores the movement and hidden depth of the ocean through layers of deep teal, turquoise and midnight blue. Soft, flowing lines of pale blue and white trace the contours of the waves, while subtle touches of golden green light emerge from beneath the surface, revealing glimpses of the underwater world.

The composition captures the interplay between light and shadow, transparency and depth. The sweeping brushstrokes create a sense of continuous movement, drawing the viewer into the rhythm of the water. Without a visible horizon, the sea becomes an immersive space where the surface and the depths seem to merge.

This contemporary ocean painting invites a closer look at the beauty hidden beneath what we see. It reflects the ever-changing nature of water and the quiet sense of wonder found in observing its movement, light and colour.
