The Drop of Tenderness, 2025

Svitlana Lazoriak  

From the “Becoming" series.

In this work, the artist continues to explore the inner states that shape a person from within.
The figure holding a lily embodies softness, self-attentiveness, and quiet strength.
A single drop becomes a symbol of a subtle inner experience — a moment when tenderness is able to touch or shift something essential.
The restrained composition, calm rhythm, and warm palette convey a stage where gentleness becomes a form of support and growth unfolds naturally.
The painting speaks of becoming as a movement toward wholeness, where softness itself becomes a kind of strength.

“Becoming" is a series of works in which I explore my path as an artist — a kind of real-time diary.
Each canvas marks a stage of my inner and professional growth: from the first intuitive decisions to more conscious and confident forms.
In these works, I allow myself to remain in the process — to change, to search, to make mistakes, to discover something new.
Figures, colors, and rhythms become visual markers of my creative development.
They hold within them silence and strength, doubt and clarity, movement and pause.
This series is not about a final destination, but about the journey — where each work is another step toward my own voice 
Each work in the Becoming series marks a step toward personal maturity.
This piece captures a stage where inner quiet meets growing confidence, as the artist continues to shape her own creative path.
