Categories Symbolism Women Portraits

This unique mixed media artwork combines acrylic paint, gold leaf, and textile embellishments to depict the eternal balance between night and day. Adorned with intricate beadwork and metallic accents, this piece symbolizes harmony and duality, making it a perfect centerpiece for boho or modern interiors. This painting is a mystical portrait in the style of symbolism, divided into two parts: golden and dark blue. It may symbolize balance and harmony between opposites, such as light and darkness, day and night, birth and death, inner and outer realities. It reflects the contrast between what is visible on the surface and what is hidden within, the pursuit of inner equilibrium, the integration of various aspects of life, and the acceptance of the fullness of one's being. The inscriptions "Peace" and "War" on the painting reflect the duality and conflict present in the world: the striving for harmony and, at the same time, destruction. The combination of these words on the painting shows that peace and war are inextricably linked. These opposites coexist within each person and society as a whole, and only through understanding and acceptance of these forces can true balance be achieved. The balance between Yin and Yang — between lunar and solar light — helps one become the alchemist of their own life. NOTE: The images in-home might not be to scale, and serve for illustration purposes only. The artwork comes with signed certificate of authenticity.

Galí Sefer

Ukraine

Galí Sefer (Galyna Salagor) is a self-taught artist from Ukraine who works in a style close to mixed media and surrealism with elements of symbolism. Her use of rich textures and decorative elements (mirrors, mosaics, ceramics, glass, metal details, textiles) makes her works unique and adds a tactile quality to them.

Each piece conveys a profound philosophical and emotional message, focusing on themes of transformation, spirituality, and connection with the cosmos. Her works invite the viewer to reflect on the meaning of life, their role in it, and their personal transformation.

The artist masterfully combines recognizable elements (faces, eyes) with abstract patterns, making her style unmistakably distinctive. Each element in her works is imbued with meaning, turning every detail into an essential part of the narrative. By incorporating mirrors into her creations, she invites viewers to interact with the artwork, making them part of the piece and creating a sense of mutual dialogue.

In the context of her works, eyes play the role of a portal, connecting the physical and the spiritual, the inner and the outer, the observer and the observed. They create the effect of the artwork "looking back" at the viewer, establishing a mutual connection.

Galí Sefer's art is not only visually captivating but also philosophically rich, making her works meaningful for both aesthetic and intellectual appreciation. These pieces can serve not only as visual objects but also as tools for meditation, intuitive exploration, or a dialogue with one's subconscious.
