Blooming Mists
In Iryna Malynovska's "Blooming Mists," we are presented with a visual symphony where the blurring of forms and the precision of emotions intersect. Measuring 90x90 cm 2021, this canvas is a sensory exploration, a reverie expressed in textures and hues. The artist invites viewers to lose themselves in a morning mist of pigments and light, where flowers seem to magically emerge from a nebulous backdrop.
Malynovska's technique is a controlled dance between spontaneity and deliberation. Utilizing a pastel color palette dominated by shades of pink, green, and mauve, she juxtaposes the softness of transitions with the expressive power of more defined brushstrokes. Contrast is thus achieved not only through color but also texture and depth, highlighting the artist's mastery in manipulating paint.
The layers of paint build upon each other, suggesting an almost temporal dimension, where each layer could represent a captured moment, a crystallized emotion. Palette knife strokes and scraping reveal the underlayers, adding to the overall dynamic of the piece, as if witnessing the evolution of a landscape across seasons.
"Blooming Mists" harbors a precarious balance between emergence and disappearance, as if each element could vanish with the next breath. This endows the work with an almost meditative quality, inviting the viewer to pause, to observe, and perhaps to encounter their own inner reflections.
