Atmospheric Study No. 7 (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 drama of a setting sun.

A luminous solar disc emerges through layered cloud formations, casting warm amber and orange light across a softly glowing horizon. Expansive passages of lavender, mint, and pale yellow build the atmosphere above, while a dark silhouette of trees anchors the middle ground against the fading light. The foreground landscape recedes quietly, allowing the sky to carry the full emotional weight of the composition.

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.
