Evening In The Garden

Diana Sandetskaya | Oil on Canvas | 30 x 24 inches 

“This is a painting of an English garden on a warm summer evening. I am fascinated by the transformative power of nocturnal scenes, often in the context of a suburban landscape and this is one of the series of my ‘night paintings’. As the evening falls, the beautiful, lush garden is transformed, with lit up trees, accentuated lights, strong shadows and silhouettes of the surrounding trees against the darkening sky – it acquires a different quality, brings up a new emotion.

There is something slightly mysterious, almost transcendental in it, and at the same time calm, peaceful and meditative, inviting reflection and contemplation. It makes me appreciate how important the nature and connection to it is to our wellbeing and everyday life and is an integral part of it even in the urban environment. “ Diana

Diana Sandetskaya paints the end of the day as the sun sets and nocturnal scenes, often in the context of a suburban landscape. Sandetskaya is interested in the emotive response of a viewer to the same place, depending on the time of day, weather, and season, as well as one’s mood, imagination, narrative and personal experience. Sandetskaya captures what she has seen locally, painting atmospheric, poetic scenes that evoked in her a sense of awe, or which she found to have almost transcendental qualities. She works mainly in oils, painting in a style that references realism and romanticism.
