Watercolor Florals
In "Watercolor Florals", Iryna Malynovska employs oil paint to delve into the ethereal and translucent qualities typically associated with watercolor. This 90cm x 90cm 2023 canvas is a vibrant composition where colors appear to be in constant flux, creating a visual harmony that suggests flowers without depicting them realistically.
Malynovska's bold brushwork and rich color palette create an impression of depth and dimension. Sky blue, soft pink, and tender green are applied with expressive gestures that animate the canvas surface, while areas of light and shadow play across the composition, suggesting the natural light filtering through petals.
This painting is an exemplar of the artist's ability to merge oil painting techniques with the fluid style and translucency effects. It is both a celebration of floral beauty and an abstract study of color and light.
