Description

“Kyiv Girl” is a deeply atmospheric mixed-media portrait inspired by the spirit and architecture of Kyiv. The composition merges feminine presence with fragments of the city’s iconic skyline, where golden domes softly emerge through layered textures and pastel light.

The female figure appears partially veiled in honeycomb-like mesh and translucent materials, symbolizing memory, protection, and fragile resilience. Her calm, introspective gaze contrasts with the richly textured surface built from acrylic paint, gauze, fabric elements, and structural pastes. These materials create a sculptural relief that gives the artwork dimensional depth and tactile complexity.

Soft shades of lavender, muted gold, blush pink, and warm earth tones blend together, evoking both nostalgia and quiet strength. The architectural silhouettes in the background dissolve into abstraction, reinforcing the connection between identity and place.

This original artwork reflects themes of femininity, cultural heritage, and inner endurance. It is a one-of-a-kind piece, created using the artist’s signature layering technique that combines painting and collage into a harmonious, textured surface.

The painting will make a meaningful statement in contemporary, classic, or art-focused interiors, adding both elegance and emotional depth to the space.
