3342 Pastel Radiance

The roses are rendered in quick, expressive brushstrokes, a delicate balance between form and abstraction.
The petals are sketched with touches of white, pale pink and shades of grey and brown, creating an impression of softness and volume.
The background, in shades of red and brown mixed with orange highlights, evokes the evening sky, providing a warm contrast that brings out the flowers. The use of light and shadow is remarkable, giving the illusion that the flowers are bathed in the golden light of dusk.
The setting is simple, highlighting the richness of the painting without distraction. Malynovska's style shows a mastery of the colour palette and an ability to invoke emotions through dynamic pictorial gestures.
The painting demonstrates a sophisticated interplay between realism and expressionism, capturing a fleeting moment in time with an almost melancholic quality.

Painting technique

Painting is an art form in which coloured fluids are aesthetically applied to a surface. Painters represent a highly personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. A work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can be narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual or philosophical.
