Svetlana Stovboun: Photographs

03/15/2026

What a pleasant occupation escapism is.
You can be busy with anything, thinking about a thousand different things. But when you step into a gallery, surrounded by paintings, your world gathers itself around beauty, and suddenly you are simply here, in the present moment.
Flywheel Gallery is open for you — and for your small or great joys in life.

Even if you’re not an artist, but appreciate beauty, have a taste for life, and a sense of the aesthetic, you will enjoy spending time at our gallery.
It’s a place where you can take in beautiful work, meet interesting people, and experience a kind of quiet inspiration that stays with you for days.
We are also featuring four guest artists, each with their own distinctive style and unique work.
Come spend an evening with kindred spirits who sometimes need a small escape from everyday life.

The thing about boys is this…
When he’s fifteen, his mother will ruffle his hair and say, “You’re still my little boy.”
And that boy will roll his eyes, pull away, and mumble, “I’m not little.”
But a few years later, when he’s nineteen, she’ll do the same thing - ruffle his hair.
And that same boy will hug her and say with a smile,
“Mom… when did you get so small?”

🔸🔸🔸
No pink sketches.
Dresses, yes
but they tangle in branches
when climbing trees.
Flowers?
Only for weaving crowns.
Otherwise,
magnifying glasses, pebbles, sticks,
endless running,
no pause for breath.
….
And still, inside
a softness:
pink,
sweet cotton candy.

Who is so alive and happy?
Who goes about his little business every morning?
Who gets tired of all the endless running
and falls asleep the moment his eyes are closed,
sometimes seeing dreams,
and sometimes seeing nothing at all
until the first rays of the sun
touch his eyelids?
A boy.
Though a little frog
would fit here too.

In a hundred years, the tide will be the same,
and the moon will still remember her.
She is not lonely —
only alone,
listening to the quiet voice inside.

Hidden behind a mask,
unknown, unrecognized,
she dissolved into emeralds
and went where she was accepted.

Eva, 2026 (The Girl Who Loved Unicorns)
🌸🌸🌸
This isn’t simply a portrait of a child. It’s Eva — three, almost four, at an age when preferences are loud, sincere and impossible to ignore. Her love for unicorns naturally finds its way into the image, turning the portrait into a small, honest record of who she is right now.
