Florence in winter (2025)Oil painting by Elena Bulatova

Florence Landscape is an original oil painting created on canvas mounted on cardboard by artist Elena Bulatova.
This small-format work captures a quiet, non-iconic view of Florence — far from its famous landmarks and monumental beauty. Instead of depicting recognizable architecture, the artist focuses on atmosphere, texture, and the muted rhythm of the city.

The painting was created intuitively, through layered oil paint and restrained earthy tones. The surface is built gradually, allowing traces of earlier layers to remain visible. This process reflects the artist’s interest in memory, time, and places as they are emotionally perceived rather than visually documented.

Florence inspired this work not as a historical symbol, but as a lived city — slightly worn, silent, and inward-looking. The composition avoids narrative clarity and invites the viewer into a contemplative state, where landscape becomes a space for personal reflection rather than description.

Despite its small size, the painting carries a dense, tactile presence and works well as an intimate piece in a private collection.
