Yaseneva Sveta - A Pause Among Flamingos

I live and work in Slovakia. Delivery within the European Union takes 7–10 days.

This painting is about a moment of stillness — not action, but pause. A pause both inner and external. The girl stands among the flamingos without disturbing them and without trying to belong to their world. She observes quietly, remaining in balance with the surrounding space.

The flamingos are not decorative or exotic elements. They represent stability and the natural rhythm that exists independently of human emotion. Their calm presence emphasizes the fragile yet conscious stillness of the child — a moment when time seems to slow down.

The red patches at the bottom of the painting carry a symbolic meaning. I see them as traces of emotion left behind after movement has already passed. They are not signs of danger or aggression, but visual echoes of inner tension, memory, or experience that does not fully disappear. They resemble reflections in water or warmth lingering on the surface after a step. These red accents prevent the scene from becoming completely silent and make the pause tangible.

My work focuses on atmosphere, emotional states, and memory rather than direct narrative, leaving space for the viewer’s own interpretation.
