Glance 3 is a compelling example of abstract portraiture, skillfully blending realism with geometric fragmentation to evoke a sense of psychological depth and complexity. The subject's face is rendered through intersecting planes of color, with lines that radiate and converge, creating an almost kaleidoscopic effect. This fragmented style suggests inner conflict, layered emotions, or the multifaceted nature of identity. The artist uses a muted but varied palette, dominated by earthy tones and blues, with bursts of warm oranges and reds. This combination adds a sense of tension and dynamism to the composition. The eyes, though partially obscured by the abstraction, are the focal point, drawing the viewer into the figure’s enigmatic gaze. They seem to convey both vulnerability and introspection, grounding the otherwise deconstructed image in humanity. The angular forms that cut through the portrait resemble shards of glass or refracted light, suggesting themes of disconnection, reconstruction, or a fractured psyche. The overlaying of these shapes might symbolize the layers of experience, memory, or perception that shape one’s identity over time. The subtle interplay between opacity and transparency in the colors reinforces this sense of depth and introspection.

Svitlana Ahranovska’s Famous Paintings: A Journey Through Her Art

Svitlana Ahranovska’s original paintings include works from the Project "Portrait on the Background of the Landscape" (2021), as well as “Little Boxes. Field” (2019), “Shift” (2019), “Infanta” (2019), “Landscape with a Square Sun” (2018), and many more.

Her “Portrait on the Background of the Landscape” series is dedicated to the theme of the connection between a person and the place they live, with the landscape that constantly surrounds them. It creates an image of a person deeply connected to the landscape, blending into it, so that the facial features nearly disappear, transforming into a part of the landscape itself.

Svitlana Ahranovska’s Art Style

The artist works at the intersection of digital and traditional visual art. Her focus lies in exploring the impact of digital gadgets on visual perception. By using classical oil painting techniques to interpret the digital image, she adds an extra layer of meaning—translating one medium into the language of another. Her work seeks to strike a balance between abstraction and figuration.

She worked mainly with painting until 2022. Her field of interest was the visual perception of a person, its features, and its development under the influence of modern people's digital media. The artist also raises the question of how exactly the visual experience of the modern person, which is constantly changing, can interact with such a traditional medium as painting.

After February 2022, she turned to drawing, abandoning color for greater expressiveness and sharpness of images. Ahranovska’s art explores the theme of war and trauma, possibilities of recovery, issues of self-identification, and connection between generations. The artist creates metaphorical images aimed at giving the viewer space to understand certain problems and become a starting point in their own reflections.
