On a ball by Elena Mi (Original Painting)

technique: canvas acrylic

The painting “On a Balloon” depicts an alien creature sitting on a huge balloon that floats above the surface of a watery planet shrouded in pitch blackness. This ball, like a giant eye, reflects faint glimmers of light, creating an atmosphere of mysticism and magic. The creature, clothed in a transparent light fabric, gracefully developing over the water surface, seems to be an integral part of this mysterious world.
A dry branching tree growing from its head bestows its fruits. These fruits seem to transport the viewer into a world of dreams and fantasies, creating a sense of connection between the creature and its surroundings, adding an element of surrealism and mystery to the painting.
Brass jewelry in the form of rings that wrap around the creature’s body glisten in the dim light, emphasizing its uniqueness and exoticism. These strange details create a contrast to the lightness of the fabric and heighten the sense of mystery. The creature seems both vulnerable and majestic at the same time, immersed in its thoughts and feelings.
The mood of the painting is imbued with lightness and mystery, creating an atmosphere of solitude and sadness. In this magical space, where the boundaries of reality are blurred, the viewer can feel a deep connection with the unknown, as well as a slight fear of what lurks in the dark depths of the water element. Each element of the painting tells its own story about the search for meaning and the quest for understanding in a world full of mysteries.
