On the Tail of the Blue Bird. Freedom.

The more you look, the deeper you dive.

The Blue Bird — an ancient symbol of happiness and goodness — carries away those who manage to grasp its radiant tail.

Then, the viewer becomes that «very someone» — drawn into a soaring flight, a breathtaking breakthrough toward dreams, into a space where new horizons open, yet unexperienced before.

This painting was created over months; its first layer and intention absorbed the energy of the solstice.

Multilayered texture, expressive brushstrokes, bold palette-knife movements, and even fingerprints form a complex surface that comes alive under the gaze.

It is a work one wishes to read again and again with the eyes — the rich transitions of color, volumes, and textures resonate like alchemical elixirs of energy.

Within this piece lives not only the image of flight but the experience of happiness itself — that instant when the current lifts you, and you allow yourself to be carried toward new, extraordinary dreams.

What it awakens

From darkness, from tears of non-being,
A trembling “I” suddenly blooms…
A radiant Divine stream carries you
Into the Cosmic Source.
Wondrous flowers begin to bloom,
And crystals shine from the heights…
The Free Spirit embraces the world with love,
As new Light pours from Heaven to Earth.

Olga Solovyova

From the depths, it soars upward...
Perhaps a Bird, perhaps a Maiden…
Beautiful and bright, knowing the depths of water —
Shine, shine, my Star.
