About the Item

This painting depicts a young woman trying on bright red high heels. Dressed in a black dress with lipstick on, she may be preparing for an important event — perhaps the very first of her life. In her pose and expression, traces of childhood innocence blend with the first signs of growing up. The work was painted entirely from life over several sessions with a live model. It is not a portrait of a specific person, but rather a symbolic, collective image — a tribute to youth, dreams, and the trembling excitement of stepping into adulthood. Through a completely natural, unposed position — one a person might assume casually, never expecting to be seen or remembered in it — I sought to capture the fleetingness of the moment. This is that brief, vanishing time when a girl first begins to feel like a woman. The painting is done in oil on high-quality, heavy linen canvas, hand-stretched over a wooden stretcher. It is ready for framing and will look especially elegant in a wide frame — black with gold or with touches of red. This piece makes a strong visual accent in any interior — perfect for a bedroom, living room, or a thoughtfully designed hotel suite. The vivid red heels, natural pose, and quiet emotional energy will always draw the eye. Painted in the U.S., this piece is available without international shipping or customs fees. Daria Molostnova lives and works in Hawaii, where she discovered the true beauty of the surrounding world. Her paintings reflect the local reality, expressed through her personal cultural code. A graduate of the Russian State University of Design and Applied Arts named Stroganoff, she earned her master's degree, blending the traditions of classical education with a contemporary artistic perspective. Daria grew up in a family of professional artists, her mother being a renowned designer and lead doll artist of the Soviet Union. Since 1997, Daria has been a member of the Moscow Union of Artists, and since 1998, a member of the International Union of Journalists. She has taught at the Russian-Italian Art School Perotti and the Correspondence People's University of Arts. She has conducted numerous workshops both in Russia and abroad, as well as team-building activities for companies such as Harpers Bazaar, Mercedes, and Coca-Cola. Daria has participated in international artist residencies in such countries as Bosnia, France, and Italy. She is a participant in many Russian and international art fairs, competitions, and exhibitions. Currently, she collaborates with galleries in Hawaii and California. Her works are held in several Russian museums, as well as in private collections both in Russia and abroad. 2025 her painting "Big Storm" won the first prize in the art competition of the Plein Air Magazine in US. Daria's paintings are a fusion of flawless craftsmanship and a vivid sense of life that her work conveys. The inspiration and light embedded in her paintings will stay with you if you become their owner. The team of curators of the Art-S-Gallery.
