Memories No. 1 (2026) Original Oil Painting by Alena Sokolova

Memories No. 1 is an original 24 x 30 inch mixed-media artwork made with cyanotype, oil, and metallic leaf. A magenta tulip opens against a solid gold-leaf circle in the upper right, its petals catching warm, saturated color against the metallic ground. A single green stem drops down the right side of the canvas, curling into a loose loop of leaf at the base. To the left, a pale cyanotype field holds the ghost of an old floral photograph - soft blues and whites layered like a memory that hasn't fully surfaced - interrupted by one deeper rectangle of blue, like a window left slightly darker than the rest.

Hand-painted oil brings the tulip forward in vivid, present color, while the cyanotype and its darker inset hold the rest of the canvas at the remove of memory.
