Original oil painting “Something Old, Something New” by Yulia Nikonova.
Oil on canvas.
Size: 24 x 24 in.
This radiant oil painting not only captures the beauty of the present moment but also weaves a deeper narrative about the passage of time. The field of tall, golden grasses—dry remnants of the past year—represents the memories and experiences that linger, while the vibrant pink blossoms of the blooming trees symbolize renewal, hope, and the future.
The artist subtly juxtaposes the old and new, suggesting that the past is never truly left behind, but rather embraced as part of the ever-evolving cycle of life. The cozy white cottage nestled between these symbols of time bridges this connection, offering a sense of continuity and harmony.
The painting evokes a feeling of comfort and completeness, as though the blending of seasons, memories, and dreams creates a peaceful wholeness. It reflects the quiet reassurance that in the flow of time, everything has its place, and there is beauty in both what has been and what is yet to come.
The combination of these elements brings an emotional warmth, expressing a message of life's integrity and timelessness, where the past and future coexist in perfect harmony.
