Impressionist Blossoming
In this piece of remarkable dimensions, Iryna Malynovska presents us with a painting that seems to be an homage to Impressionism, while infusing her own modern and abstract sensibility. The 80x100 cm canvas unfolds as a dreamy garden where the structure of flowers merges into a whirl of colors and light.
The visual aspect of the painting is dominated by a range of reds, from deep purples to delicate shades of pink, creating a dynamic of warm colors that appears to dance across the canvas. These hues are skillfully interwoven with strokes of white, gold, and pale blue, bringing freshness and clarity to the whole, suggesting the diffuse presence of daylight refracting through petals and leaves.
The artist's technique is a celebration of substance: with movements that seem both deliberate and spontaneous, she employs a rich palette to layer colors, thus creating an impression of depth and texture. The paint is applied with a variety of tools, not just brushes but also, very likely, palette knives, to achieve an almost sculptural effect on certain elements of the composition.
This canvas could be likened to an Impressionist garden not in full day, but captured in that transitory moment where the light shifts, where day gives way to the softness of an emerging twilight. The technique employed evokes the rapid brush strokes and dabs of color characteristic of the Impressionists, while lending the scene an almost surreal quality.
Malynovska succeeds in balancing chaos and control in this painting, where every brush stroke seems random yet precisely in its place, contributing to an overall image that is coherent and harmoniously composed.
