Tangerines: Pre-New Year

This is an expressionist still life that conveys not just the visual image, but the vibrant, joyful atmosphere of anticipating winter holidays. The painting evokes scents of fir needles and citrus, the bright glow of festive lights, and the sensation of expecting a miracle.
The artwork is distinguished by exceptional texture and a contrasting color palette typical for impasto technique.
The central place in the composition is taken by a large white bowl filled with bright orange tangerines and juicy green leaves. These elements, traditionally associated with New Year celebrations, are sources of warmth and light in the painting.
The color scheme is built on bold and energetic combinations of warm and cool tones.
