In her series “Guardians of the Path” Galina explores the inner stages of human life — from encountering the unknown to accepting oneself and the world. In each work, the human figure coexists with symbolic creatures — animals that personify intuition, strength, fear, or support. These fantastic companions become images of internal states that accompany a person on his or her life path. Through naive form and bright decorativeness, the artist speaks of complex spiritual experiences in a simple, sincere language of color.

” The Guardian” artwork from the series “The Guardians of the Path”
In this painting, Halyna explores one of the essential stages of human life — the moment of inner encounter with one’s own strength, fears, and intuition. The mysterious spotted creature, both guardian and reflection, represents the instinctive, untamed part of the self that accompanies us through transformation. The girl in traditional dress stands calmly within its protective embrace, symbolizing the dialogue between innocence and experience, between what is visible and what is deeply felt.
Through vivid color and symbolic form, the artist invites viewers to reflect on their own journey and the unseen guardians that accompany them through change. But sometimes we must step into the unknown, guided only by the quiet voice of our own soul….

” The Keeper of the Path” artwork from series ” The Guardians of the Path”
In the flow of everyday life, each of us walks a winding path — filled with silent questions, victories or moments of doubt.
Halyna’s painting speaks about these tender passages of the soul.
A woman stands among her little blue goats and blooming flowers, as if pausing between one choice and the next.
Her calm presence reminds us that even an usual day carries the challenges of destiny….. in the rhythm of life, care, work, and love, we face the same ancient questions:
Which way to go? What voice to trust?
Surrounded by color and light, the figure becomes a symbol of inner balance — a guardian of stillness in a world that moves too fast.
Through this poetic image, the artist invites us to consider how we navigate our own transformations, how we make decisions that define our paths, and how solitude often reveals the truth of who we are.
