XVII — The Star (2026) Original Oil Painting by Tamara Dvaretskaya

The Star appears in the tarot only after the storm has taken everything it wanted. It does not arrive during the difficult moment. It arrives after. This painting is that moment. Turquoise breaking across copper and dark earth like sky opening after a storm. The surface is built in thick layers of oil, each one catching light differently. The heavy golden frame is the horizon. Everything inside it feels vast and elemental.
THE SCIENCE OF TURQUOISE
Turquoise sits between blue and green in the spectrum, carrying the properties of both. Blue slows the nervous system and lowers blood pressure. Green restores mental energy. Turquoise does both at once, creating a state of calm alertness where the mind quiets but stays open. Research links it directly to emotional balance and clarity after difficulty. The copper and earth tones ground it, giving it warmth and depth. This is a painting for someone who has come through something and is ready to feel hopeful again.
