Title: Oil painting Summer gladiolus Oksana Ivanyuk

Description: No. Kalen 1603

The oil painting on Canvas titled "Summer Gladiolus" is a vivid and jubilant celebration of floral elegance and seasonal abundance. The composition bursts with energy and luminosity, capturing the grandeur of gladiolus flowers in full summer bloom. Towering stems arch gracefully upward and outward, forming a dense, majestic bouquet that seems to overflow with life, color, and movement. The painting pulses with the joy of summer, transforming the viewer’s space into a vibrant garden filled with sunlight and vitality. At the heart of the work lies a symphony of color. Rich reds, pinks, and magentas form vertical waves of blossoms, interspersed with brilliant whites and soft lavenders. These bright floral tones are not merely decorative — they are orchestrated in layers and clusters, giving a sense of depth and rhythm that mimics the natural chaos and harmony found in a summer garden. The paint is applied with generous, expressive strokes, using both palette knife and brush, resulting in textured surfaces that give each petal and leaf a sculptural, tactile quality. The greens of the leaves and stems provide a vibrant counterbalance to the flower heads. Bold, sweeping swathes of emerald, lime, and jade dance across the lower portion of the canvas, grounding the composition and guiding the viewer’s eye through the bouquet. These greens are neither passive nor restrained — they are just as alive as the blossoms they support, bending and twisting with a kinetic energy that breathes motion into the painting. The background is a masterful wash of cool blues and purples, interlaced with soft pastels and subtle abstract gestures that suggest the shimmering warmth of a summer sky. Rather than placing the bouquet in a defined environment, the artist opts for a dreamy, diffused backdrop that emphasizes the flowers’ radiant presence. This approach elevates the subject from a traditional still life into a poetic impression of nature’s ephemerality — the kind of beauty that stops you mid-step on a summer’s day.
