| In this evocative piece, Liudmila explores the shifting landscape of the human psyche through the metaphor of a sleeping dragon. At first glance, the artwork presents a tranquil scene — soft colours, calm forms, and a gentle sense of harmony. It speaks to moments when the artist feels grounded and light, when emotion and thought settle into peaceful balance.
But beneath that surface serenity lies tension. The dragon, placed purposefully at the forefront, rests quietly — yet its presence is unmistakable. It embodies the artist's personal struggles: anxiety, fear, self-doubt, and frustration. These aren’t always visible, but they’re never far away.
The beauty of the work lies in its duality. The sleeping dragon creates the illusion of calm, but there's a sense that at any moment it could stir, sending the serene world into chaos. It’s an honest depiction of emotional vulnerability, acknowledging that beneath every calm exterior, there’s a creature that can wake.
This piece isn’t just visual — it’s introspective. It opens a dialogue between artist and viewer, asking us to consider what slumbers within each of us. It’s a poetic reminder that the inner world is never static, always changing, and sometimes beautifully unpredictable
