Acrylic painting “Parallel Souls” (2025) by Nataliya Bagatskaya (Ukraine)

This painting is more than a picture—it is a moment suspended in time. A young woman and a black cat share a quiet, almost sacred silence by the window, gazing at a moonlit horizon. In this silent dialogue, the viewer becomes part of the scene, drawn into its emotional weight and subtle narrative. Every element—the vertical sweep of the crimson curtain, the deep gradient of the evening sky, the mirrored forms of the woman and cat—is designed to speak to the soul. It speaks of solitude and connection, of the beauty of shared silence. The painting invites you to pause and breathe, to leave behind the noise of everyday life and enter a space where time slows down and meaning deepens.
