Still Life 13 (2026) Original Watercolour by Olexandr Romanenko

The still life is filled with sunlight and a summery atmosphere. A lush bouquet of golden sunflowers in a simple terracotta vase becomes the main expressive accent of the composition. The bright yellow petals contrast with the deep cobalt and ultramarine hues of the fabric, creating a sense of the flowers' inner glow.
Free, transparent watercolor brushstrokes give the petals a vibrant feel, while soft transitions of blue, gray, and white tones create an airy depth to the background. The dark centers of the sunflowers highlight the richness of the golden palette, and the lush green of the leaves unites the composition into a harmonious whole.
The work's special expressiveness is enhanced by the combination of a free brushstroke and carefully chosen color contrasts. The white fabric reflects the light, the blue folds add depth, and the warm ochre-brown vase balances the brightness of the bouquet.
