The Step Comes Before the Road (2025)Acrylic painting by Tatiana Hellum

80 x 60 x 2cm (unframed) / 80 x 60cm (actual image size)

£781.47

In this work, movement and stillness merge into a single rhythm — a symbolic passage through inner landscapes. The title, The Step Comes Before the Road, reflects the moment before direction becomes clear — that fragile space where courage appears before certainty. Layers of violet, umber, and blue tones evoke geological depth, while flashes of light open toward the horizon, suggesting both distance and awakening. Finished with a satin varnish that enhances depth and gentle luminosity, preserving the painting’s subtle radiance.
