Title: Acrylic painting Magnolias are blooming Mykhailo Patskan

Description: No. AAA4902

The acrylic painting on cardboard titled "Magnolias are Blooming" is a vivid and emotionally resonant celebration of one of spring’s most enchanting natural events—the flowering of the magnolia tree. Bold brushstrokes, intense contrasts, and expressive textures define this composition, inviting the viewer into a lush garden scene where color and life pulse through every petal and leaf. At the heart of the composition are the magnolia blossoms themselves, rendered in striking shades of crimson, pink, and fuchsia. Each bloom seems to open in slow motion, the layers of petals curling and unfolding with grace and vitality. The thick, textured paint application enhances the three-dimensional quality of the flowers, making them appear to leap from the surface. These expressive strokes convey not just the appearance of magnolias, but their essence—their softness, their strength, their fleeting beauty. The rich interplay of red and pink hues suggests the variety found in real-life magnolias, while the white highlights and dark shadows between petals bring drama and depth. The blossoms are set against a dense background of foliage painted in rich, layered greens with accents of deep violet and hints of earthy brown. This dark, almost abstract backdrop serves to highlight the blossoms even more strongly, creating a natural spotlight effect that draws the viewer’s attention entirely to the flowers. The green tones range from emerald to olive, blending into one another in a way that feels organic and spontaneous, yet deliberate in its execution. Flecks of light seem to filter through invisible branches above, catching the glossy surface of a leaf here or the curled edge of a petal there. The composition is intimate, cropped closely to the blooms so that the viewer feels immersed in the flowering moment. There is no horizon, no distant landscape—only the immediacy of nature in full bloom. This tight focus enhances the emotional impact, as if time has been paused at the precise moment the blossoms reached their peak. The absence of distractions allows the viewer to meditate on the beauty and impermanence of flowering, a timeless symbol of both joy and transience. The use of acrylic on cardboard gives the painting a textural richness and a physical presence that complements the lush subject matter. The visible brushwork adds movement and vitality, echoing the organic energy of the blooming magnolias.
