Contemporary Symbolic Painting
English
OKSANA ALEKHINA

In my work, I explore the relationship between a person’s inner world and the surrounding reality — especially in moments when the two no longer coincide.

In recent years, living amid constant external instability and striving to preserve familiar everyday rituals and inner harmony have shaped the themes of my recent work.

I combine decorative qualities with a narrative dimension, creating visually expressive images that leave space for the viewer’s personal associations and interpretations.

BETWEEN REALITIES

Between Realities is inspired by the experience of living in the space between external uncertainty and the desire to preserve an inner sense of balance. In these works, I reflect on how we continue to live, maintain our everyday routines, make plans, and notice beauty even when the familiar structure of reality begins to shift.
The golden lines running through the works are inspired by the aesthetics of kintsugi, where a crack is not concealed but becomes part of the object's story — a trace of its memory, transformation, and renewed beauty.

In Between Realities, cracks symbolize transformation rather than destruction. They reflect our ability to rebuild life after periods of instability and remind us that even a fragmented reality can be reassembled into a new whole.

MOON MOOD

The Moon Mood Series explores emotional states inspired by the symbolic language of the Moon. Rather than illustrating zodiac signs literally, the paintings focus on subtle inner atmospheres — moments when perception, intuition, and mood quietly shift.

The series will include twelve paintings, each capturing a distinct emotional landscape shaped by the changing language of the Moon.

HARMONY OF THE ELEMENTS
This series of paintings is about tranquility, mindfulness, and the harmony of the moment. Female figures dissolve into their surroundings, becoming part of the world's energy. Their closed eyes symbolize a rejection of external chaos, a deep dive into intuition, and the natural flow of life.
The details in each work convey the dynamics of the elements, their interaction, and balance. Each painting embodies the idea of harmony—embracing change, sensing the rhythm of life, and finding one’s place in the endless stream.
Harmony of the Elements is a story about the power of energy and the equilibrium between the external world and inner peace.
ABSTRACTED PRESENCE

The “Abstracted Presence” series is my personal exploration of the female figure in an abstract, symbolic form. I place this familiar shape into visual contexts inspired by interior design styles — from rustic and colonial to loft and boho. I'm fascinated by how a space can reflect our inner state, and how a figure, stripped of facial features, still tells a story when immersed in a certain stylistic mood. These works are a dialogue between presence and environment, emotion and structure, abstraction and atmosphere.

MEANWHILE

Meanwhile is an ongoing painting series that emerged in recent weeks in response to a sharply transformed emotional reality. The first three works form the conceptual core of the project. The series reflects the fragile coexistence of intimate daily ritual, memory, and an external reality that cannot be fully kept outside.

THE ILLUSION OF CHOICE

This series of paintings explores the moment of choice—whether obvious or hidden, voluntary or imposed. The multicolored women symbolize unique worlds, inner states, and identities. The hands represent temptation, fate, societal influence, or personal fears and desires. Each canvas is a frozen frame of an inner dialogue, where the question is not only about making a choice but also realizing who is truly making it.
