Original artwork description:

“ Day with no plans" artwork from serie " Light between days"

In this work, Halyna reflects on the essential role of pause in the rhythm of a human life. The figure at the center — faceless, softly illuminated, and captured in a moment of quiet rest — embodies that delicate threshold where movement gives way to stillness. Her unhurried posture and the gentle palette surrounding her create an atmosphere of introspection, suggesting a temporary retreat from the demands and expectations of the outside world.

The painting highlights a universal truth: clarity often emerges not from constant action, but from intentional pause. By stepping out of routine, we gain the distance needed to understand where we truly are and where we are heading. In this suspended moment, the figure seems to listen inwardly, allowing the subtle signals of intuition, memory, and desire to surface.

Halyna uses this scene to explore the cyclical nature of human experience — the way life unfolds through stages, transitions, and turning points. A pause becomes not an interruption but a vital stage of its own, a quiet checkpoint that enables honest self-reflection. The viewer is invited to consider their own moments of stopping, the rare times when stillness reveals the deeper contours of one’s path and gently guides the next step.

“ Light Between Days”

In her ongoing series, Halyna explores the stages of human life — moments of transformation, contemplation, and quiet revelation that shape our inner landscapes. Each work captures a fragment of this universal journey: the search for meaning, the experience of change, the delicate balance between action and reflection.

Through minimalist composition and symbolic detail, Halyna traces the rhythm of contemporary existence — where rapid change often challenges our sense of stability, and yet, within that movement, each person seeks their own center of calm. Her characters inhabit intimate spaces of thought and emotion, revealing how the ordinary moments of everyday life can become gateways to self-understanding.

This series reflects on how we navigate our choices, how we adapt and grow, and how we find beauty in the quiet intervals between life’s transitions. Halyna’s work speaks gently but profoundly about resilience, introspection, and the timeless human capacity to evolve while remaining true to oneself.
