We are the Gods 2
Tetiana Cherevan – Ensō
“A circle becomes like the Universe!” — Yamada Reirin
The series was born after a journey to Ko Samui, where an abandoned gallery revealed canvases partly eaten by termites. They were cleaned and reused, turning decay into creation and giving the works a “second life.” Many bore the zen motif ensō — a hand-drawn circle symbolizing integrity, enlightenment, and the cyclical nature of existence.
Using ensō as background for eight portraits, the artist amplifies their philosophical depth, merging western individuality with the oriental idea of imperfection. The female figures embody “the infinite in finite,” their strength softened by floral Art Nouveau ornamentation, golden tones, and hieratic compositions. These works reflect fragility, renewal, and timeless dialogue between matter and spirit, showing that even in transience lies the seed of eternity.
How to Frame Your Artwork
Works on paper (drawings / prints on paper)
I ship works on paper unframed. Ready-made frames are easy to find (e.g., IKEA’s classic RIBBA). Most include a white mat (mount) that lets the artwork “breathe.”
- Choose white or black frames/mats to suit your space.
- Black mats usually need to be purchased separately.
- You can echo a color from the piece (e.g., a subtle green frame) or pick an ornate wooden frame for a more classic/gothic interior.
Canvas paintings
Canvases are usually displayed without an outer frame—the edges are painted as a continuation of the image for a clean, contemporary look.
If you prefer a frame, choose an open (floater) frame: it mounts from behind and leaves a slim gap around the canvas, adding visual “air” without covering the composition.
Art prints
Many of my prints are offered already framed and marked on the product page as “Framed Print.” In that case, no extra framing is needed.
I also offer unframed prints at a lower price—perfect if you want to choose your own frame. For unframed options, standard ready-made frames (like IKEA RIBBA) work well; canvas prints pair beautifully with floater frames. Please check each listing’s details for size and finish.

Cherevan's art is not only excellent craft. Her art mirrors her fine and authentic perception and understanding of deep emotions and characters. She brings erotic scenes to the canvas, highlighting the beauty of joy - celebrating celebration.
