Blood Moon | Ukrainian Figurative Oil Painting by Liliya Muglia

Blood Moon is an original oil painting on panel, measuring 20 × 28 inches (51 × 71 cm). The work presents a contemplative female figure rendered with classical realism, enveloped in the quiet symbolism of Ukrainian heritage and ritual.

Clad in traditional embroidered garments, the subject cradles a pomegranate—an enduring symbol of life, sacrifice, and continuity—while the surrounding elements evoke cycles of renewal and ancestral memory. The restrained palette and luminous handling of light lend the composition a meditative gravity, drawing the viewer into a moment suspended between history and myth. Every embroidered detail and gesture is painted with deliberate care, honoring both craftsmanship and cultural lineage.

The painting’s title, Blood Moon, alludes not only to celestial cycles but to endurance through darkness—an emblem of resilience, identity, and transformation passed down through generations.

The original artwork remains in the artist’s private collection and is available for acquisition.
