_Self-Talk_ explores the shifting landscape of inner dialogue — the thoughts that accompany, shape, and quietly influence our sense of self.

The work reflects the continuous flow of mental states: moments of clarity and hesitation, harmony and inner tension. Thoughts appear as both gentle companions and intrusive presences, moving between awareness and subconscious response. Rather than defining them as positive or negative, the composition allows these states to coexist within a single, restrained structure.

The female form functions as a symbolic vessel for this internal conversation. Contained within a geometric framework, it suggests multiple versions of the self — sometimes aligned, sometimes in quiet disagreement — held together through balance rather than resolution.

_Self-Talk_ invites a moment of pause, offering space to observe the rhythms of thought and the subtle complexity of the inner world without judgment or narration.

_Ornament — Time_ reflects Tetiana Gryshchenko’s exploration of time as both a precise structure and a deeply personal, non-linear experience.

At the center of the composition, a female figure is suspended in a moment of quiet anticipation. The subtle whitening of her hair becomes a symbol of fleeting moments — those that pass before we fully register their presence. Her posture echoes the divisions of a clock face, suggesting a quiet alignment between the human body and the rhythm of passing time.

A semi-transparent ornamental structure draws the viewer inward, functioning like a visual lens or a kaleidoscope. It reflects the elusive nature of time — something impossible to control or fully grasp, yet constantly shaping our inner perception.

This work offers a contemplative pause, inviting the viewer to sense time not as measurement, but as a living presence — subtle, intimate, and in motion.

_Ornament — Luck_ brings together the softness of figurative form and the clarity of geometric structure, creating a quiet dialogue between the organic and the precise.

The gentle contours of the figure contrast with bold linear elements, forming a composition where intuition and structure coexist in balance. Geometry does not dominate the figure, but rather supports it, allowing form and rhythm to unfold with restraint and calm.

A palette of greens, pinks, and earth tones evokes harmony, growth, and inner balance, introducing a sense of renewal and grounded stability.

Rather than representing luck as chance or randomness, the work reflects a state of peaceful optimism — a subtle kind of luck that arises from alignment, attentiveness, and resonance within oneself.

_Full Moon_ explores the symbolic presence of the lunar cycle as a force that situates human experience within a larger, recurring structure. The moment of the full moon becomes a point of heightened awareness — a reminder of continuity, rhythm, and interconnectedness beyond the individual.

The composition is constructed through a geometric dialogue between two opposing triangles, suggesting a balance between complementary forces often associated with masculine and feminine principles. Circular forms reference cyclical movement, while the interconnected figures emphasize unity and duality as foundational conditions of existence.

Rather than depicting a narrative scene, the work functions as a contemplative structure. It reflects on how human presence unfolds within larger systems of rhythm and return — where individual experience remains inseparable from the cycles that shape it.

_Graphics 26. Duality. Impulsiveness - Prudence_ is part of my Duality series, created on a grid based on the geometric progression of the number 2 — a structure that highlights the balance and tension between complementary inner forces.

This work explores the relationship between Impulsiveness and Prudence — two psychological tendencies we often perceive as opposites. Yet in reality, no trait exists in a pure, isolated form. Both qualities coexist within us, weaving together and yielding to one another depending on circumstance.

Impulsiveness generates movement, spontaneity, and emotional spark. Prudence brings clarity, foresight, and grounding. Together, they form a dynamic pattern of reactions and outcomes that shape our choices and define who we are.

The composition reflects this subtle interplay, capturing a dual nature that is fluid rather than fixed.

_Graphics 25. Duality. Flexibility - Decisiveness_ continues the artist’s exploration of psychological duality within a mathematically structured field. Built on a geometric progression of 2, the grid establishes a visual architecture where paired opposites negotiate space, influence, and balance.

The drawing examines two qualities often understood as contrasting: decisiveness — grounded and firm — and flexibility — fluid and adaptive. Rather than opposing one another, they operate as interdependent forces, shaping a dynamic equilibrium.

Their meeting unfolds as a subtle choreography, where firmness gains nuance and softness gains direction. Through restrained geometry and precise linework, the work articulates a psychological landscape in which tension is held, rather than resolved, allowing contradiction to exist within a balanced structure.
