Landscape Painting by Liliya Nikolova

This work evokes the vastness of a landscape, the moment when sky and earth merge. Nikolova works with layers of color that meet and overlap until a balance of movement and stillness emerges. The soft blue and green tones convey an atmosphere of light, wind, and freedom. It is not merely about depicting a place, but about a feeling of immersion in space, color, and inner peace.

Please note: This artwork will be on display from December 6, 2025, to February 20, 2026, and unfortunately cannot be shipped during this period.
