3352 Flaming Twilight

The impasto technique is used to add texture to the clouds, giving an almost tactile dimension to the work. The composition is balanced, with the setting sun as the focal point, surrounded by clouds and reflections on the water.

This work by Iryna Malynovska captures the beauty and intensity of a fiery sunset, where the sky appears to be on fire as the sun disappears below the horizon. The choice of warm, saturated colours creates an atmosphere of warmth and mystery, evoking emotions of calm and contemplation. The sky and sea seem to melt into each other, the clouds reflecting the red and orange hues of the sunset. The light of the dying sun illuminates the clouds from within, creating deep shadows and luminous reflections on the water. Malynovska uses light expertly to capture the brilliance and transition of colour at this precise moment, adding an ephemeral and magical dimension to the scene. The fluid technique and colour blends demonstrate the artist's mastery of capturing the nuances and emotions of nature.
