Atmospheric Study No. 10 (2026) Original Oil Painting by Daria Zavadenko

Part of an ongoing series exploring the relationship between horizon, atmosphere, and landscape space.

This original oil painting continues an investigation into light, atmosphere, and perception through a reduced landscape language. Built with expressive palette knife marks and layered oil paint, the composition balances abstraction with references to land, sky, and the quiet intensity of a single point of light.

A small, glowing orange disc hovers in a vast monochrome sky, its light tracing a vertical reflection down through the textured water below. Cool greys and muted purples dominate the upper composition, while fragments of green, gold, and white build a quiet, fractured surface across the lower half. The contrast between the stillness of the sky and the restless texture of the water creates a quiet visual tension.

Rather than depicting a specific location, the painting explores the experience of landscape as a space shaped by light, weather, and the passage of time. Rich textures and layered color relationships reveal new details with sustained observation.
