Title: Oil painting Sunny flowers Oksana Ivanyuk

Description: Kalen 1608

The oil painting on Canvas titled "Sunny Flowers" radiates a joyful and energetic spirit, encapsulating the warmth of a summer day in every brushstroke. At the heart of this composition lies a luminous bouquet of sunflowers, arranged with expressive abandon in a deep cobalt blue vase that anchors the entire painting. The artist, using bold impasto techniques and a vibrant palette, has transformed a simple still life into a festival of color, texture, and emotion. The sunflowers, with their round, golden heads and earthy green centers, burst forth with confidence. Their petals seem to catch the sunlight, glowing with hues of yellow, ochre, and orange, while also being surrounded by subtle washes of pink, lavender, and pale greens that give the arrangement a layered, multidimensional quality. The texture of the brushwork mimics the natural density and coarseness of sunflower petals, capturing their rustic beauty and symbolic strength. Interwoven with the sunflowers are sprigs of other wildflowers—delicate white blossoms, possibly baby’s breath or field daisies, that scatter across the bouquet like stars in a radiant sky. Hints of violet, lilac, and burgundy peek through the yellow blooms, offering cool counterpoints that deepen the visual rhythm. These interspersed colors not only add contrast but also evoke the diversity and abundance of a sun-drenched garden in full bloom. The background is a vibrant cascade of colors and brush marks—strokes of pink, beige, muted teal, lime green, and warm amber tones dance together in a kaleidoscopic display. Rather than isolating the bouquet, the background seems to merge with it, giving the impression that the flowers are not just in a room but growing from a magical realm of color and movement. The vertical lines in the background suggest falling light, or perhaps the filtered sunbeams passing through a window or curtain, reinforcing the theme of sunlight and growth. The vase, painted in rich blue tones, stands in stark yet pleasing contrast to the warm, golden hues above it. Its rounded form and solid presence give a sense of balance and weight to the composition. The surface it rests on is depicted in expressive, gestural strokes of pink, green, white, and purple, creating an almost abstract foundation that echoes the playfulness of the flowers themselves. Dots, drips, and splashes of paint give the work an informal, celebratory air—as if it were painted in a moment of joyful spontaneity.
