Against the backdrop of a deep night sky woven from shades of ultramarine and sapphire, a luminous tree unfolds. Its branches glow with the warmth of ochre and golden reflections, resembling constellations cutting through the darkness. The painting seems to breathe: light and lines possess a life of their own, and the viewer becomes a witness to this inner pulse.

The work is executed in oil painting technique using hatched elements and thick, textured impasto. A palette knife, dense strokes, and directional marks add depth and tactility, while the play of light is constructed through the contrast between the saturated background and the radiant forms. Each stroke seems to pulsate, echoing the living breath of the night.

“Constellation of Branches” is a vision of inner light breaking through the dark. It symbolizes growth, a path, and the connection between the roots of the earth and the stars of the sky. The painting invites reflection: where is our own tree of light, and what nourishes it in the night?

The painting portrays a leafless tree branching out in a golden flare against a deep blue sky. The artist transforms a familiar silhouette of nature into a symbol of inner radiance—even bare, the tree emanates energy, warmth, and strength. The contrast between the glowing trunk and the night background creates an effect of illumination from within, as if life persists beyond seasons and visible signs of growth.

The background’s rhythmic hatching and the branches’ linear plasticity form an almost musical composition, where each element resonates like a note. It is a meditation on resilience, renewal, and the internal source of light that does not depend on external conditions.

The artist Olga Gladushevska has a classical art education: she graduated from the Odesa Grekov Art School, Ushinsky University, and the Architectural and Construction Institute. Despite the basic knowledge that every artist should know, she developed her creative intuition as much as possible.

«The main question that interests me as an artist is how to competently transform what an artist sees into art on canvas.

I don’t think it necessary to copy and realіse simply technically beautiful paintings since a true artist is more than just a good technique. A true artist is the energy and emotions that the viewer feels when looking at the work.»
