Artwork Description

Moonlit Prayer
This large textured painting (171x110 cm) carries a dreamlike presence, where trees and spirit become one.
The main colours deep blues and earthy yellows create a luminous contrast, while touches of rose golden leaf shimmer across selected branches and petals, catching light like whispered blessings.

At the heart of the scene, branches weave into the form of a girl with eyes softly closed, her hair entwined with blossoms and sky.
Her body merges seamlessly with the tree trunk, suggesting she is both rooted in the earth and lifted toward the heavens.
Around her, pink and white blossoms drift across the whimsical ground, while above, a full orange yellow moon glows with swirling textures, an echo of a recent eclipse, yet here it becomes part of the forest’s rhythm.

The painting blurs boundaries between tree and woman, sky and earth, night and prayer.

It speaks of surrender, stillness, and the quiet strength of connection, where human and nature breathe as one.
The inspiration lies in a whispered wish beneath the eclipse, or in the meditative act of becoming part of the landscape itself, a prayer carried in silence by the moonlit trees.

Artist Bio

From an early age, I was drawn to creative expression, discovering my passion for art as soon as I could hold a crayon.
I pursued this passion academically, earning a degree in Art Education in Ukraine, which laid the foundation for my artistic and teaching career.
After relocating to Australia in 2002, I continued to develop my practice and actively sought opportunities to exhibit my work.
I have since participated in various art prizes and exhibited in local galleries, while also sharing my knowledge through teaching, both in my home studio and within the school community attended by my children.
For me, art is more than a passion; it is a lifelong journey of exploration, growth, and connection. Through both my creative practice and teaching, I aim to inspire others to experience the joy and transformative power of art. My work has allowed me to engage with audiences locally on the Gold Coast and internationally, reinforcing my belief in creativity as a universal language that enriches lives.
