Description of the Artwork “Atmospheric Study No. 16”
Part of an ongoing series exploring the relationship between horizon, atmosphere, and landscape space. This original oil painting draws light from restrained grounds, allowing luminosity to emerge from deep, saturated tones. Built with expressive palette knife marks and layered oil paint, it captures the intensity of a crimson sunset sky. A luminous white solar disc hovers at the centre of a vast red and rose sky, its light tracing a vertical reflection through pale water below. Warm reds and corals dissolve into soft white and lavender, while scattered gold flecks bind sky and water in shared warmth. Rather than depicting a specific location, the painting explores landscape as a space shaped by light, weather, and time. Rich textures reveal new details with sustained observation. Part of the Atmospheric Studies series.
Daria Zavadenko, Ukraine
Landscape, for me, is not a destination but a condition of seeing. I return to the same motif repeatedly—not to describe a particular place, but to understand how light, colour, and atmosphere shape our experience of it. The landscapes I paint are rarely tied to a specific location. Instead, they emerge from the feeling of recognizing a place that cannot be fully remembered. Working almost exclusively with a palette knife, I build each painting through broad gestures, layered paint, and deliberate reduction. As details disappear, relationships between light, colour, and space become more vivid. The physical surface of the painting becomes part of that search, allowing observation and intuition to exist simultaneously. Rather than documenting nature, I am interested in the moment when direct observation gives way to memory. What remains is not a faithful image of a landscape, but fragments of atmosphere, light, and rhythm reconstructed through experience. Each painting asks how a landscape continues to exist once it no longer belongs to geography, but to memory.
