"Water Lily Reflections" by Iryna Malynovska is a celebration of natural serenity, an oil on canvas piece measuring 100cm x 100cm 2023. The Ukrainian artist has captured the poetic essence of a lily pond in a symphony of blues, greens, and whites, with hints of vibrant colors reflecting the vibrant world beneath the water's surface.

Malynovska employs a harmonious blend of painting techniques to create a surface that vibrates with life and light. The lilies are rendered with softness and detail, their delicate petals standing out against the shifting reflections of the water. The impasto technique is used to give physical dimension to the painting, with thick, expressive brush strokes adding an almost sculptural quality to the canvas.

Light plays a pivotal role in this work, with reflections and shadows suggesting the fluid movement of water and the changing cycles of the day. The interplay between light and color creates a visual experience that is both dynamic and soothing.
