About the Item

My paintings begin with a serious sense of play, both in the staging and the creating of the compositions. It is at this beginning stage that I operate under the Dadaist dictate that “anything can be art”, and at the same time I seek out a balanced and harmonious composition by way of line, shape, and color. I work according to my whimsy, sometimes seeking to assert some form of narrative however personal or ambiguous, and other times I am simply satisfied with the hint of a human presence. Once I have my compositions the paintings then very quickly become about work, a very labor intensive work that forces me to focus my mind and slow things down (which I feel is relevant especially in this day and age of high-speed everything). A great amount of effort is spent on trying to get to the highest level of finish that is possible according to my current skill level. For inspiration I have drawn from the past four centuries of object specific paintings, from the ontbijtjes (laid tables) of the 17th Century Dutch masters such as Willem Kalf, Jan Davidsz de Heem, Abraham van Beijeren, Peiter Claus Heda and Willem Claesz Heda, to the kitchen settings of Chardon, as well as the still life’s of Cézanne, and the Nature Morte paintings of Morandi, also some of the intensely skillful hyperrealist and trompe l’oeil painters working today.

Still life of sunflowers oil on canvas painting russian artist flowers
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Natalia Pankova (1965) - Sunflowers - Oil on canvas Oil measurements 50x50 cm. Frameless. This striking piece by Natalia Pankova, a renowned contemporary Russian painter, captures the energy and vitality of a sunflower bouquet in her signature expressionist style. Pankova uses a vibrant palette and dynamic brushstrokes, creating a powerful balance between structure and emotion. The artist draws clear inspiration from masters such as Vincent van Gogh, whose use of color and expressive approach to still life revolutionized the art world, and Paul Cézanne, celebrated for his structural and geometric treatment of still life. Additionally, echoes of Wassily Kandinsky's expressionism can be seen, particularly in the harmonious interplay of shapes and colors. The painting is not framed, offering the buyer the freedom to select a frame that best suits their personal style and space. Perfect for collectors or contemporary art enthusiasts looking for a vibrant and unique piece. An excellent addition to any collection! Natalia Yuryevna Pankova (Russian: Наталия Юрьевна Панкова, Gorky, June 28, 1965) is a Russian painter. Natalia Pankova was born in the city of Gorky in 1965. She finished her studies at the Gorky Art Institute and the Moscow External University of Humanities. Master in art criticism. Member of the Union of Artists of Russia.
