3366 gold reflections on the horizon

This work by Iryna Malynovska is an oil painting made on canvas, using superposition techniques to create a striking depth and contrast. The composition is divided into three distinct parts: the mountains bathed in golden light, a dark area representing the shadow of the mountains, and the foreground composed of a body of water with bluish and golden reflections.

The brush blows are mastered and vary depending on the elements of the table: wide and fluid blows for water, and more textured blows for the mountains. The color palette is dominated by warm shades like gold, orange, and colder tones of blue and dark brown. The gentle transition between these colors creates a peaceful atmosphere while highlighting the natural contrast between light and shadow.

The subtle use of light and shadow adds depth and realism, while the reflections on the water bring a dynamism that balances the immobility of the mountains. The technique used shows a great mastery of the artist in the management of colors and textures to express the harmony and tranquility of the landscape.
Artistic description

"Golden reflections on the horizon" is a celebration of natural beauty and chromatic contrasts found in landscapes with twilight. Iryna Malynovska manages to capture an ephemeral moment when the sleeping sunlight caresses the summits of the mountains, creating a golden radiance which is slowly reflected in the water.

The scene gives off a feeling of tranquility and introspection, reinforced by the contrast between the hot hues of the mountains and the colder and serene nuances of the water. The landscape seems to be deploying in front of the spectator, inviting him to immerse himself in the tranquility and the greatness of nature.

This work illustrates the artist's skill to translate complex sensations through a limited but effective palette, combining classic techniques of landscape painting with a contemporary touch that emphasizes light and contrast. The harmonious composition and the choice of colors create a soothing and meditative atmosphere, characteristic of the style of Malynovska.
