Piercing Gaze II
Oil on canvas
Dim.: 80x120cm
In "Piercing Gaze II," the gaze is not just a focal point—it is an abyss and a revelation. The fragmented and enlarged composition of the face creates an almost cinematic effect, where the blue-green eye dominates the screen with a silent intensity. The meticulously detailed iris seems to contain its own universe, surrounded by translucent fabrics that blend with organic forms, as if the skin were transforming into a plant or a spirit.
The half-open mouth, the detail of pores and eyelashes, and the softness of the light on the skin make the work deeply intimate, almost tactile. There's a tension between realism and the surreal—between the human and the mutant.
This piece marks an exploration of language that is already yours: the feminine as enigma, the body as metamorphosis. "Piercing Gaze II" doesn't observe—it absorbs. And it demands to be looked at with the same attention with which it was created.

Iryna Khayetska Seguir artista +
Iryna Khayetska is a Ukrainian visual artist, born in 1991, whose passion for painting has been with her since childhood, when colored pencils and paintbrushes were already inseparable companions. Her artistic journey began in Ukraine, but it was in Lisbon, where she moved as a teenager, that she found new avenues for her creative expression.
Specializing in oil, acrylic, and charcoal painting, Iryna combines figurative elements with abstraction, creating works that convey deep emotions and invite reflection. Her inspiration stems from observing nature, people, and the search for harmonious spaces, always reflecting her unique vision of the world.
His work has been presented in several group exhibitions in Portugal, including at the Associação Arca Gallery, at the Hotel The One Palácio da Anunciada and at the Hotel Corinthia, as well as at international events, such as Borders Art Fair in Venice, during the 19th Architecture Biennale, and the Night of Contemporary 2025 in Greece.
Interviewed by NIT magazine and TVI, Iryna shared how art was, and continues to be, a form of therapy and self-discovery. When she paints, she says, "the world stops" and her emotions come to life on canvas. Each work is a reflection of her inner universe, where color, texture, and feeling meet in a continuous dialogue.
