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

"Gazing Beyond" is a 50 x 70 cm oil painting on canvas that captures a young woman lost in thought beneath the vast canopy of an ancient tree. Her head tilts gently upward, eyes fixed beyond the twisting branches, as if searching for answers in the shifting patterns of light and shadow. The tree’s gnarled trunk form a protective presence, while textured strokes in earthy browns, deep blues, and golden tones evoke both the solidity of the past and the promise of what lies ahead. This evocative scene blends portraiture and nature to reflect a quiet moment of contemplation about the future.
Her upward gaze invites the viewer to ponder—what lies beyond the frame, or perhaps within her own imagination? The minimal negative space contrasts beautifully with the rich textures, lending the piece a modern, yet timeless quality.
