This stunning new painting by Ludmila Korol is a mesmerising exploration of connection, transformation, and quiet intimacy. At 80 x 100 cm, oil on canvas, it carries the depth and emotion characteristic of her work, drawing the viewer into a dreamlike world where reality and mythology intertwine.
A woman with closed eyes leans into the swans, her face almost merging with their elegant forms. There is a deep tenderness in the way her hand cradles one of them, a moment of trust and understanding between human and nature. The swans, often symbols of transformation, love, and loyalty, seem to exist both in this world and beyond, their graceful necks framing the composition like an embrace.
The background, with its delicate traces of trees fading into dusk, enhances the ethereal mood of the painting. Shades of cool blues, greys, and soft golds create a sense of quiet reverence, like a whispered story passed down through time. The subtle play of texture invites the viewer to step closer, to feel the presence of the figures and the emotions they hold.
