Atmospheric Study No. 4 (2026) Original Oil Painting by Daria Zavadenko

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

This original oil painting investigates the quiet transformation of light across water and sky. Reduced to essential elements of horizon, reflection, and atmosphere, the composition balances abstraction with subtle references to the coastal landscape.

Built through layered palette knife marks and textured oil paint, the work is structured around a luminous vertical passage of reflected light that connects sky and water. Soft tones of lavender, grey, blush pink, and pale blue emerge through the surface, while darker foreground forms anchor the composition and create a sense of spatial depth.

The painting invites slow observation, revealing shifting relationships between texture, light, and atmosphere. Rather than depicting a specific location, it focuses on the transient qualities of perception and the experience of looking.
