The Cloud (2026) Original Oil Painting by Marina Zotova

This oil painting captures a solitary, monumental cloud suspended in a deep blue firmament. Rendered on stretched canvas (50×60 cm), the composition is deliberately minimal — a single vast cumulus, accompanied by a few smaller companions, floating in a cold, atmospheric expanse.
The cloud is not a heavy mass but an ethereal, almost translucent formation. Its lower edge dissolves into a smoky haze, blurring the boundary between the solid and the vapourous.
What makes this piece truly captivating is the inner glow: subtle layers of cool whites, pale greys, and icy blues are built up with delicate glazes, creating the illusion that the cloud is softly illuminated from within, as though carrying its own quiet light.
My paintings are dispatched carefully packaged between strong but light layers of protection (penoplex), and also packed in layers of bubble wrap and other materials. Finally - in a cardboard box.
