About the Item
Across the vast stretches of African desert, where endless sand meets intense heat, people carve out small, human-made oases that bring life back to the land. Through care, patience, and a deep respect for the earth, they draw precious moisture into places where it is naturally scarce, creating little worlds of shade and growth.
Within these nurtured pockets of green, lemon and orange trees take root. Their bright fruits and refreshing aromas stand out against the surrounding dryness, reminding us of the resilience of nature and its willingness to flourish when treated with kindness.
Here, in the heart of the desert, vibrant lemons become symbols of balance — proof that even the harshest landscapes can offer abundance when humans and nature work together.
About "Moroccan dream" series
This series explores the journey of personal growth in a world that often feels unsafe and full of conflict. When the outside world is chaotic, the mind searches for a peaceful place—a space filled with joy and vibrant colors that bring back childhood memories of calm, rest, and happiness.
The paintings are inspired by Morocco, a country that beautifully blends tradition and modernity. Its rich patterns, architecture, and vibrant culture reflect a harmony between heritage and progress—a balance that mirrors the journey of self-discovery, where we evolve while staying connected to our inner child.
The series also plays with perspective. Some works show wide views of Moroccan gardens, while others zoom in on single lemon trees or abstract details. This variety invites each viewer to find something meaningful, celebrating our shared love for nature and simple, playful beauty.
Why lemon trees?
Lemons awaken the senses—their scent energizes, their flavor sharpens focus. In these paintings, lemon trees act as a symbol, gently calling us to reconnect with ourselves, remember what matters, and find clarity in a noisy world.

Ksenia Tsyganyuk, born in 1991 in northern Russia, began her artistic career after moving to Rivne, Ukraine. Her paintings—landscapes and still lifes—capture a joyful, childlike sense of wonder through vibrant colors, rich textures, and ornamental details. With a touch of naïveté in her imagery, she seeks to awaken the viewer’s “inner child,” reminding them of how beautiful the world is when one is free from expectations, eager to explore, and ready to experiment. In today’s fast-changing and stressful world—marked by crises, wars, and forced migration—it’s easy to lose balance and feel overwhelmed. Ksenia’s art offers a moment of respite, inviting viewers into a dialogue with their own feelings of lightness and freedom. She hopes to rekindle the emotions of childhood, when one feels safe, at home, and surrounded by love. Her goal is to create art that helps people reconnect with their inner Sun—the light that guides them through life.
Ksenia works in mixed media, blending acrylic and oil on canvas. She favors a loose, expressive style that preserves the spontaneity of each brushstroke, allowing emotions to flow freely onto the canvas.Education
