"Crystal" is an original oil painting that transforms the geometry of a cut diamond into a study of light, structure, and clarity. Painted on a custom diamond-shaped canvas, the work focuses on the inner architecture of the stone — its sharp planes, mirrored facets, and flashes of icy blue that shift between precision and atmosphere.
Rather than presenting the diamond as ornament alone, this piece explores it as a symbol of permanence, brilliance, and refined beauty. The composition draws the viewer inward, where crystalline symmetry meets painterly nuance, creating a balance between realism and abstraction.
This painting belongs to Tetiana Samoilenko's signature series of diamond portraits — works that translate the hidden interior world of precious stones into statement oil paintings.
