Quiet Joy (2026) Original Acrylic Painting by Zhana Viel

An original painting created in vibrant yellow and turquoise colours on unstretched canvas, depicting a woman gently holding a cup of warm drink. The work combines expressive figurative painting with a richly textured surface, creating a sense of warmth, calm and quiet enjoyment.

The painting has been developed through a gradual process of layering texture and paint. Each layer is allowed to dry before the next is applied, allowing the colours, marks and textures beneath to remain partially visible. Layers are built up, softened and revisited, creating depth and a tactile, varied surface.

The contrast between the luminous yellow background, turquoise clothing and warm earthy tones gives the painting an uplifting quality, while the woman’s peaceful expression introduces a more contemplative mood.
