Night. Lunar night and clear is presented in the work by Lyudmila Korets in the style of geometric abstraction. The moon illuminates the path with a silvery light. Round clocks measure time by highlighting the period of the dark time of the day as a sector.

"Everyone knows that the ball is a symbol, by means of which, already in the distant, distant past, people expressed the most secret secrets of the universe. When the ball was freed from sacred meanings, it began to be widely used in the art of the 20th century to this day. But it has been used it is already in terms of a game experiment, where the artist, as it were, discovers the secrets hidden in the shape of a ball, <...> People have always sought to find out what is hidden behind the surface of an object, and for an artist, for example, another ball is often hidden behind the shell of a ball, the principal nesting doll or womb.
The artist uses this principle for various incarnations, seeking to express the tension or secrecy of one form in another in a kind of sculptural intrigue," says world-famous artist and sculptor Mikhail Shemyakin in his study "The Ball in Art".

The work by Lyudmila Korets depicts a circle, which itself is a symbol of time - a clock, and another spherical object is placed in it - the full moon. The background, also known as the clock face, is painted dark blue. The hands of the clock singled out the dark period of the day into the blue sector, cutting the night almost like a triangle, but at the same time without violating the integrity of the clock circle itself.

Air, space, movement - three tasks, like three whales, are invariably set by the artist in each created work and successfully completed in this work. A complex Passepartout, consisting of many circles superimposed on each other, complements the picture with new shades: yellow and blue and continues the perspective, scattering the moonlight with rays. "Fine art is the ability to create an image, not to depict something" - the main artistic principle of the artist. The image of a moonlit night is clearly presented in the picture.

Winter. Dazzling winter, bright, and snowy is presented in the embroidered painting by Ludmila Korets in the style of geometric abstraction. Ice crystals sparkle with all the colors of the rainbow on a silver background in the form of circles. 

Like Wassily Kandinsky, in his painting "Several Circles", the artist deliberately limited himself to only one form - the circle and focused all his attention on such aspects as color, mass, and their relative position in the space of the canvas, which determine the composition. The snowy background is silvered in the painting by Lyudmila Korets. 

Snowflakes-atoms fall, catch up with each other, and sparkle in the sun. "Fine art is the ability to create an image, not to depict something" - the main artistic principle of the artist. Here is the image of winter on a clear and frosty day, when all around is dazzling sparkling snow and everything is flooded with sun.
