F21902 Fields of Remembrance

"Fields of Remembrance" is a powerful painting by Iryna Malynovska, exploring memory and history through a poetic yet melancholic scene. Created in 2024 on an 19x19 cm canvas and framed in white (22x22 cm), this artwork evokes a landscape rich in symbolism: a winding path leading through a vibrant poppy field towards ruins worn by time.

The poppies, painted with striking intensity, symbolize the fragility of life and the duty of remembrance. The misty sky and the thick, textured brushstrokes enhance the contrast between past and present, between the beauty of nature and the indelible scars of history. The impasto technique brings remarkable depth to the painting, adding relief to the flowers and architectural elements in the background.

Through this composition, Malynovska invites us to reflect on resilience and collective memory. "Fields of Remembrance" is not just a landscape; it is a visual meditation on the passage of time and the power of remembrance.
