Trust

Trust
85 x 113 cm
Acrylic, gloss, mixed media with rose gold

Trust shows the intimate stillness between a girl and her horse, a bond built on quiet understanding rather than words.
The girl stands with her eyes closed, her hair lifting softly into the same breeze that stirs the horse’s flowing mane.
While she surrenders in trust, the horse remains watchful, its gaze steady and calm, showing both strength and guardianship.

Loose brushstrokes dissolve the lower forms of both figures into a dreamlike way , suggesting tall grasses, morning mist, or the veil of memory itself.
Sepia tones of brown, black, grey, burnt orange, and white enrich the scene with warmth and timelessness.
At the base, rose gold sheets glimmer within the vertical strokes, as if to reveal that beneath the earth and its shadows, something precious grows.

The work speaks to the beauty of connection between human and animal, strength and surrender, the seen and unseen.

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.
