Artwork Description

Water has many faces.
It gives life, cleanses, and holds the quiet promise of renewal.
Here it rests — still and reflective, almost merging with the sky.
Within this calm, a solitary figure on a bench appears only to a patient gaze, becoming part of the silence rather than interrupting it.
There is seclusion here, but also restoration.
A space where the world softens, and something within can begin again.
Mixed media on canvas, Raised lines. Artist's signature on both sides. Certificate of authenticity included. Wall hanging hardware and wire included.
My work serves as a visual archive of moments that continue to live within us. To me, Afterglow is not merely fading light—it is an inner resource. It is the shadow on a path, the glint on water, the silhouettes of old trees that become anchors in the present.
I use textured, expressive brushwork to convey the fluid nature of memory: while the details may blur, emotional resonance remains. Each painting opens a space for reflection—where fleeting glimpses of the past transform into quiet strength, capable of shaping the future.

Artist Bio

Oxana Arefin is a Brisbane-based visual artist of Russian-Ukrainian heritage. Holding degrees in both arts and psychology, she works across photography, painting, and mixed media — weaving these disciplines into a practice that bridges the artistic and psychological. Through convex forms and layered surfaces, her work extends beyond the flat canvas into immersive, psychologically charged spaces. Her art delves into emotion, perception, and the hidden dimensions of human experience, drawing viewers into an intimate and evolving dialogue. Oxana's works are held in private collections across the USA, France, Ukraine, Russia, and New Zealand, and her photography projects have earned Honours Commendations at exhibitions in Malta, Russia, and Australia.
