The upper part depicts abstract forms in shades of orange, red, brown, and delicate green, applied impasto, creating a rich, almost three-dimensional texture. One can discern fragments of vegetation, rocky shores, or other elements of the natural landscape within them. The lower part of the painting is a mirror reflection of the upper forms, however, presented in a more blurred and fluid manner, characteristic of a reflection in water. The colors are slightly muted and diffused, and the texture is smoother, which enhances the impression of movement and water depth. The horizon line, although not clearly marked, is subtly suggested by the change in texture and color intensity between the upper and lower parts of the painting. The background of the painting is maintained in subdued shades of gray and blue, which further emphasizes the warm color scheme of the central composition. “Reflection” is a contemplative composition that invites stopping and reflecting on the beauty of nature and its subtle transformations. The rich texture and warm color palette create an atmosphere of peace and harmony. The title of the painting perfectly reflects its character, focusing on the motif of reflection as a metaphor for the transience and changeability of nature. This small format, with its intimate scale and rich texture, can be a subtle accent in any interior, introducing an atmosphere of peace and contemplation. It is a proposition for lovers of abstraction and landscape who appreciate subtlety and the richness of texture in oil painting.
