Gazing Beyond (2021)Oil painting by Alexandra Jagoda (Ovcharenko)

A contemplative and poetic oil painting portraying a young woman looking upward beneath the massive trunk of an old, time-weathered tree. Created in expressive impasto with soft yet confident brushwork, this artwork captures a moment of quiet wonder—an intimate pause between the figure and the towering presence of nature.
Warm earthy tones blend with gentle highlights to create depth and atmosphere, while the textured surface reinforces the sense of age, memory, and rootedness in the ancient tree. The woman’s upward gaze introduces a feeling of hope, introspection, and connection to something larger than herself.
Painted in oil on canvas, 70 × 50 cm, this piece merges figurative art with emotional storytelling, making it a compelling work for interiors that value symbolism, texture, and artistic sensitivity.
