Painting description

In this enigmatic painting, a dark palette dominates, accented by pale blue tones and the white of a paper boat, which seem to illuminate the mysterious figure. The composition is slender and vertical, and the figure resembles a mermaid with long hair that ripples as if stirred by a gentle breeze. The background sinks into darkness, intensifying the atmosphere of isolation and mystery. The mood of the painting is somewhat melancholic, mysterious like a fairy tale told by the fireplace. The artistic style recalls surrealist works with a touch of magical realism, which lends the piece depth and compels reflection. The technique appears subtle, with delicate brushstrokes that create an effect of translucence and elusiveness. The work may evoke in the viewer various emotions—from nostalgia to a hint of unease. Or, as a child might say: “She looks as if she were sitting on black ice and holding a little boat.” Personally, I think the painting has something incredibly captivating—something that’s hard to describe in a single word. And perhaps there is a certain “mystery” to it—something that draws you in and won’t let you look away. It’s one of those images that can linger in the soul for a long time, prompting numerous interpretations and personal reflection on its meaning.
