Birch grove Painting

Birch trees in dawn light. The trunks of birch trees with white bark. The light sprinkles like gold shining. A modern artist must use/seek modern materials. In this sense, gold as a working material is timeless, perfect, modern and absolutely archaic.I started to use gold in my works as a versatile material that offers different possibilities, be it in structure or colorfulness. I am fascinated by the interaction between the gold and the painting, and especially the effects and color tones that are created.Gold is a color with psychological power or effect, which often hides a special symbolism behind it. Birch Grove is a stunning oil painting that captures the beauty and tranquility of nature. The artist uses a palette of warm and cool colors to create a contrast between the bright birch trees and the dark forest background. The birch trees are painted with expressive brushstrokes and textured details, giving them a realistic and lively appearance. The forest behind them is rendered in soft and smooth tones, creating a sense of depth and mystery. The painting evokes a feeling of calmness and harmony, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in the serene landscape. Birch Grove is a perfect example of Elena Starostina’s skillful and imaginative style, which combines realism and abstraction to create captivating scenes of nature.
