Wings of Istanbul

"Wings of Istanbul" is a charming portrait of one of the city's most iconic residents—a seagull. Tatsiana captures the bird standing confidently on a mossy rock edge, seemingly overlooking the Bosphorus. The soft pastel medium creates a beautiful texture for the white feathers, catching the warm sunlight that contrasts sharply with the cool, deep blue and grey tones of the moving water behind it. The painting captures a fleeting moment of stillness amidst the energy of the water, highlighting the simple beauty of nature in an urban setting.
