Atmospheric Study No. 14 (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 captures the warm drama of a sunset sky above luminous, reflective water.

Soft pink and lavender clouds drift across the upper sky, while a glowing orange disc sits low on the horizon against a deep cobalt blue. A radiant band of yellow and white light fills the middle ground, scattered with gold flecks that shimmer across both sky and water. The lower zone offers quiet counterpoint — cool teal and blue, horizontal and still.

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.
