About this work
Overview
Created in 1994 by Olga Verykaki, this work presents a broad landscape rendered in a palette dominated by blues. The composition balances darker tonal areas with lighter highlights, generating a sense of depth across the scene. The piece is part of the collection of the Museum of Ethnography.
Subject & Meaning
The image suggests an expansive natural setting, with undulating forms that can be read as hills or low mountains receding into the distance. Linear marks evoke the suggestion of trees or other vegetative elements, while the overall bluish atmosphere conveys a tranquil, contemplative mood.
Technique & Style
Verykaki employs a varied surface treatment, juxtaposing smooth, blended washes with more textured, impasto sections. This contrast of flat and tactile areas enhances the perception of light and shadow across the terrain, while the limited color range reinforces the work’s subdued emotional tone.
History & Provenance
Since its completion in the mid‑1990s, the painting has remained in the custody of the Museum of Ethnography, where it is displayed as part of the institution’s holdings of contemporary landscape art.
