Sahara (2025) Original Acrylic Painting by Kseniia Turik

89 x 146 x 3cm

£3,728.75

Sahara was born the first time I experienced Calima — the desert wind that crosses from Africa and covers everything in fine golden sand. I was lying on my back with my eyes closed because the sand was falling everywhere. But through a narrow slit between my eyelids, the sky opened in a way I had never seen before — impossibly deep, impossibly blue, framed by the golden haze all around it. That single image became the whole painting.
I worked in acrylic, building waves of gold and bronze in heavy layers, then cutting the canvas with a sky-blue diagonal that runs through the centre like a gap between the dunes. The flowing lines across the surface are the trail of a golden scarf in the wind — sometimes revealing the horizon, sometimes hiding it. The whole surface is sealed in a thick coat of epoxy resin, which gives it a liquid depth. Light catches the gold differently at every hour of the day, and the blue shifts from cobalt in the morning to almost indigo in the evening.
This is not a landscape. It is the feeling of flight — weightless, boundless, slightly terrifying.
Format: 146 × 89 cm, vertical. Acrylic on canvas, sealed in epoxy resin. Signed on the back, stretched on a solid wooden frame, ready to hang.
Exhibited at Art Capital · Grand Palais, Paris 2025.
Sahara belongs in spaces with warm light and natural materials — a living room with high ceilings, an entrance hall, a staircase landing. It pairs especially well with raw wood, travertine, linen, and bronze metals. Equally strong in contemporary minimalist interiors and classical settings with character.
