“Jump. By Swan Lake II” – Anna Tikhonova-Yordanova | Etching

In “Jump. By Swan Lake II”, Anna Tikhonova-Yordanova captures the movement, grace and drama of ballet in a single suspended instant. The second work in the Swan Lake series focuses on the leap itself: the brief moment in which the body appears to overcome gravity and remain poised between earth and flight.

Executed as an etching, the work is remarkable for its precise line and richly developed graphic texture. Extended ballet feet, the light movement of the tutu and scattered feathers all contribute to the sensation of motion.

The artist transforms the jump into more than a ballet gesture. Physical effort becomes visible lightness, while the contrast between anatomical precision and weightless feathers heightens the passage between gravity and freedom, discipline and release.

The title provides an essential key to the composition. The upward leap becomes a symbol of aspiration, while the Swan Lake reference connects the human body with the grace, beauty and flight of the swan.

At 50 × 70 cm, the work has a strong visual presence and allows the fine detail of the etching to be appreciated fully. It stands as a complete artwork in its own right and forms an impressive pair when displayed with “By Swan Lake I”.
