“When I Closed My Eyes” is a luminous meditation on freedom, rest, and inner release.

A young figure lies peacefully beneath the gnarled embrace of an ancient tree. Eyes closed, hands open to the earth, the dreamer appears suspended between sleep and transcendence. White doves rise gently from the body, lifting into the twilight sky, their wings echoing a sense of spiritual release and silent transformation. At their side, an empty birdcage lies open on the grass—an invitation to imagine what’s been set free.

Ludmila Korol’s signature textures and layered brushwork infuse the painting with mystery and emotion. The golden grasses, the deep blue night, the winding tree trunk—all draw the viewer inward, into a space where stillness and surrender bloom.

A deeply symbolic piece that speaks of letting go, of trust, and of the soul’s quiet longing for flight.

Коли заплющила очі — тиша стала крильми. /  When I closed my eyes, silence grew wings.
