Longyearbyen is a 24”x36” acrylic painting by Tatyana Bondarenko. Inspired by the Arctic’s first sunrise after the long polar night—a magical moment in mid-to-late January when the sun gently reclaims the sky after months of darkness.

Completed during this very season of renewal, the piece echoes the romance of new beginnings, a tender reminder that even after the darkest nights, light, hope, and beauty will always find their way back.
