Atmospheric Study No. 11 (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 investigates light, atmosphere, and perception through a reduced landscape language. Built with expressive palette knife marks and layered oil paint, it balances abstraction with the quiet intensity of a single point of light.

A small, glowing golden disc hovers above the horizon, its warm light spreading across a band of coral and amber sky before tracing a soft vertical reflection through the textured water below. Cool blues and slate greys frame the upper composition, while deep indigo and fragments of white build a weighted, textured foreground across the lower half.

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.
