Description of the Artwork “Secret Pond”
Secret Pond - Limited edition canvas print Immerse yourself in a world of mystery and elegance with this stunning reproduction (original painting sold out) ABOUT THE ARTWORK: This is a high-quality canvas reproduction (giclee print) of an original painting, executed using the impasto technique. This piece is a dramatic and surreal scene, reminiscent of a dream or a scene from the ballet "Swan Lake." This captivating canvas draws viewers into a dreamlike world where mystery meets elegance. The central figure, adorned in a luxurious Venetian mask and finely detailed lace, stands gracefully among lotuses, accompanied by a majestic white swan. The vibrant color contrasts, from deep blues to warm golds, evoke a surreal sunset ambiance. Rich textures evoke the tactile sensation of thick oil paint, enhancing the lifelike presence of the swan’s feathers and the delicate fabric. This evocative imagery, inspired by myth and fantasy, invites contemplation of beauty, secrecy, and transformation

Selena Sashina, Ukraine
Selena Sashina (Elena Podust) is a Ukrainian contemporary artist whose works are held in private collections in the USA, France, Belgium, Japan, and Ukraine. She began drawing in early childhood and received an academic education in the field of art culture. Since 2011, artistic practice has become her primary profession and the central focus of her creative life. Her artistic path began with impressionistic painting and later expanded into experiments with abstract surrealism and neurographic techniques. Through these practices, she explored perception, inner states, and the language of the subconscious. Over time, this research naturally evolved into a more symbolic and mythologically grounded visual language, where emotional states, intuitive structures, and archetypal imagery converge. Her work is rooted in surreal and symbolic thinking and is characterized by a multilayered visual language and a dense concentration of meaningful details. These elements invite prolonged contemplation and lead the viewer into a meditative, introspective state, where personal associations and inner projections become part of the artwork itself. In her current body of work, Selena explores mythological and ritual imagery through the figure of woman as a central axis of meaning. Female presence appears not as an object of desire, but as a bearer of memory, transformation, and sacred tension. Mythological beings, archetypal symbols, and ethnically inspired forms emerge around this figure as expressions of subconscious and collective memory rather than narrative illustration. Sensuality in her works exists as a state rather than an action — a pause before movement, a moment of initiation, a silent threshold between inner and outer worlds. Working across digital media, watercolor, and mixed techniques, the artist treats material as a language rather than a limitation, allowing the same conceptual core to unfold through different visual forms. Selena Sashina’s artistic practice invites the viewer not only to observe, but to enter a space of quiet concentration, where myth, body, and imagination merge into a contemplative experienc
