In the Wood, 2024 _{An Acrylic on Canvas, Realism, Painting}

 Measuring 75x60 cm, this masterpiece blends portraiture with a serene forest backdrop, evoking a deep sense of tranquility and introspection. The subject, a woman with flowing golden hair, gazes with a subtle, knowing expression, as if she belongs to the woodland itself.

The artist’s meticulous technique brings every detail to life, from the soft natural light filtering through the trees to the depth of the subject’s expression. The earthy greens and browns of the background create a soothing contrast with the subject’s fair complexion and black attire, reinforcing a connection between elegance and nature. The color palette is rich yet balanced, with deep shadows adding depth and a dreamlike quality to the composition.

Bagatskaya’s expertise in hyperrealism transforms In the Wood into more than just a portrait—it’s a moment frozen in time, inviting viewers to step into a world of peace and contemplation. Perfect for a modern home, gallery exhibition, or nature-inspired retreat, this painting is a testament to the power of realism in contemporary art.
