In this work, deliberate deviation from some traditional rules accepted in art is evident. Instead of strictly adhering to proportionality and realism, a style is chosen that conveys a sense of melancholy and a slow melody. Considering the composition of the characters in a row, one can notice that this adds additional depth and a melancholic harmony to the piece.
The characters - fairies and elves - possess unique facial features and styles. However, despite this, it may seem to the viewer that the faces of the fairies are not entirely individual, and there is a sense of repetition of the same face among several characters. This is also a violation of commonly accepted norms and gives the painting a special aura of mystery.
In this work, the decision to leave the background white and not add unnecessary details is made consciously, unlike the works of Leonardo da Vinci, where the background often had the color of old paper from time. This decision allows the viewer to focus on the main elements of the work - the characters and their actions - and adds a special charm and mystery to the painting.
The main idea of this work is to show that sometimes breaking standards can lead to new and interesting results. The soft pastel colors create a dreamy atmosphere, and the minimal details in the background allow the viewer to imagine and complement the scene with their own imagination.

Kselma Randvald was born in a small town in the centre of Estonia.
Since childhood, she was surrounded by the northern nature of the Baltic, which awakened her imagination and aroused the desire to create; and so she wanted to preserve her childhood impressions of the magical nature around her which was bright and uplifting.
She was attracted to painting as a way to express herself. Studying at an art school laid the foundation for drawing skills which later helped her in her art as well as her profession as an artist decorator at a college in Jõhvi.
She has spent a lot of time travelling throughout Europe in order to find her own way.
Three years of living in Ireland, learning english at the same time as studying signage and advertising at a local university opened up new design skills for Kselma.
The artist not only mastered the english language, but spent a lot of her time capturing the admirable cultural landmarks and architecture of Ireland on camera. Later she decided to capture that period of her life in a cycle of paintings, encompassing the emotions and feelings that she experienced at the time.
The influence of the Irish way of life manifested itself in the coulour palette as well as the plot of her paintings.
The search for herself creatively continued in Italy, where the artist painted unforgettable landscapes of Umbria. Continuing the study of graphic design within the community of artists, gaining new knowledge in the concept of art.
She practiced a lot in graphics; drawing with charcoal, sanguine and pencil, because that is what helps one to focus on perfecting their drawing and trains the eye.
After travelling across Europe, she returned to her homeland which is when the creative pseudonym - Kselma Randvald came to be.
Randvald’s main influences come from impressionism and of course her favourite artists are Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Alfred Sisley.
Van Gogh was fascinated by his brushstroke techniques and the same techniques can be seen in some of Kselma’s paintings. Monet has an aerial perspective, the artist believes that Siley has the most harmonious and airy landscapes and therefore Kselma strives for achieving a similar fresh colour scheme in her impressionist works.
Currently living in Nessebar, Bulgaria she creates various series of impressionist oil paintings - flowers, landscapes, the female figure. Combining delicate shades of blue, green, and yellow in her art.
You can find the works of Kselma Randvald in private collections in Ireland, Italy, France, Spain, Russia, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Hungary, and England.
