Pastel Softness
The painting "Pastel Softness" by Iryna Malynovska, measuring 90x90 cm, is a celebration of gentleness and subtlety. The artist manages to capture a kind of eternal spring, a bloom where the outlines are softened by a gentle morning mist.
Artistically, the composition is less a literal representation and more of an impression, an evocation of blooming through the subtle application of paint. The palette is predominantly soft, dominated by pale pinks, off-whites, and sky blues, with hints of green suggesting stems and leaves struggling to pierce through the floral misty veil.
Visually, the painting relies on a balance between form and abstraction. Strokes of paint come together to form an image that oscillates between reality and fantasy, where flowers seem to emerge from the fog as if in a dream. This work can be perceived as a moment frozen in time, where nature itself breathes quietly, suspended in a soft and luminous eternity.
The technique employed is fluid and appears imbued with spontaneity, with layers of paint intertwining to create depths and shades. It is likely that the artist used both traditional brushes for fine details and palette knives for bolder strokes and textural effects, giving the painting's surface a tactile and lively dimension.
The brushstrokes, while delicate, are dynamic, conveying the movement and energy of the natural scene they represent. The canvas shows a certain restraint in the use of color, allowing the eye to wander and rest, to gradually discover the details hidden within the layers of paint.
"Pastel Softness" is a work that speaks of ephemeral beauty, the passage of time, and the serenity that can be found in life's small moments.
