The Wolfs


This expressive painting depicts two wolves set against a sunset-tinged landscape, using bold, layered brushstrokes in warm tones. One wolf stands large and alert in the foreground, while a smaller wolf appears further back, gazing off into the distance. Behind them, rolling hills and a setting sun paint the sky in golden, purple‑red gradients.

Wolves in art often represent qualities such as loyalty, resilience, leadership, and wild freedom. Here, the dominant figure embodies strength and watchfulness, while the second wolf suggests community or guardianship.

  • These creatures symbolize guardianship and inner strength, themes emphasized by their vigilant posture in a primeval setting

  • Wolves also suggest complex duality: both powerful hunters and devoted pack members, reflecting both the fierce and protective nature of wildness

 Cultural Resonance

Artists across history, from Native American traditions to modern wildlife painting, have used wolf imagery to explore primal instincts, allegiance to one's family, and the struggle between individualism and community. This painting taps into that rich symbolic tradition, elevating its subjects beyond purely decorative wildlife scenesComposition: Two wolves positioned in a glowing evening landscape.

  • Color & Mood: Rich, atmospheric tones lend dramatic, almost spiritual emotional weight.

  • Symbolism: Themes of leadership, unity, resilience, and solitary guardianship.

  • Impression: A stirring, symbolic narrative of nature’s power and community that feels at once grounded and dreamlike.

    Golden Hour Heron


    This painting presents a graceful heron—or egret‑like waterbird—standing or foraging beside tranquil waters at sunset. The scene glows with rich golden hues, warm earth tones, and reflective light dancing on the water’s surface. Highlights of bright white and silhouetted shadows emphasize the bird’s form, while patches of grasses and reeds frame the horizon.

    In spiritual traditions, herons symbolize insight, guardianship, and the ability to stand alone with purpose and dignity—traits beautifully echoed in the painting’s serene stillness and symbolic use of light

    Interpretation of the Heron

    Herons are powerful symbols across cultures. They embody patience, stillness, and interconnection with the unseen. Their poised stance reflects mindfulness and spiritual clarity

     Often perceived as messengers bridging the physical and spiritual realms, they encourage introspection and inner equilibrium

    The Light & Water Motif

    Sunsets traditionally evoke transition, reflection, and endings—or the promise of renewal. The warm, glowing water suggests emotional depth and a contemplative tone, balanced by the bird’s still vigilance. The scene includes both solitude and serenity, inviting the viewer to pause and reflect.

    Overall Impression

    • Subject: A solitary heron gracefully stands or hunts by sunset-lit water.

    • Feel & palette: Warm golden tones mix with deep shadows to evoke a timeless, peaceful moment.

    • Symbolism: Themes of wisdom, patience, spiritual insight, and graceful solitude.

    • Mood: Meditative, gentle, and quietly profound—like a visual moment of calm before nighttime.

  • Brushwork & technique: Loose, expressive strokes create rippling reflections and softly dappled light, contrasted by the more precise silhouette of the heron. You sense the shimmer on the water and the gentle movement through subtle texture.

  • Color scheme: Dominated by warm oranges, ochres, and deep browns—suggestive of golden hour—offset with touches of white and dark tones to define the bird and foreground vegetation.

  • Composition: The heron is positioned near the center or slightly right, balanced visually by water reflections below and vertical reeds or grasses to the sides. Its mirrored reflection anchors the scene in calm symmetry.

    Mitu


    Acrylic Painting 
    40 x 50 cm
    Painted by Liliana Usvat

    The painting depicts an adorable close-up of a cat's face, filled with soft, delicate features. The cat’s fur is fluffy, with gentle shades of white, light gray, and hints of cream, giving it a soft and ethereal appearance. Its big, round eyes are wide and expressive, gleaming with curiosity and innocence, framed by long, wispy lashes. A little pink nose, small and perfectly shaped, sits in the center of the face, with tiny whiskers extending outward, adding to the feline charm.

    Perched delicately on the cat's nose is a butterfly, its wings outstretched in vibrant hues of orange, blue, and black, contrasting beautifully with the soft colors of the cat. The butterfly seems weightless, adding a sense of peaceful balance between the two creatures. 
    The whole scene radiates a sense of calm, wonder, and sweetness.

    Summer in The Village


    Acrylic Painting 
    40 x 50 cm
    painted by Liliana Usvat 
    Price $375 CAD Sold- Print on Canvas available on Demand 
    $120 CAD for a stretched 40 x 50 cm canvas print (ready to hang)

    The painting captures a charming scene of a narrow, street in a Mediterranean village. The street gently slopes downward, leading toward the horizon where the deep blue sea stretches out, glistening under the sunlight. A small boat floats peacefully on the calm waters.

    On either side of the street, picturesque whitewashed houses with terracotta rooftops are nestled close together, their charming facades adorned with colorful flowers. Bougainvillea vines cascade down the walls, their vibrant blooms creating a burst of color against the soft white and earthy tones of the buildings. Other flowers, in shades of lavender, yellow, and orange, spill from window boxes and in pots, adding a fragrant and cheerful touch to the scene.

    The sunlight bathes the scene in warm, golden hues, casting soft shadows on the cobblestone street, while the sky above is a bright, clear blue, enhancing the peaceful and idyllic atmosphere. The whole composition evokes a sense of tranquility, capturing the essence of life in a beautiful Mediterranean village, where the beauty of nature and the charm of the village are in perfect harmony.
