Decorative flowers 1945

Kateryna Bilokur painted 'Decorative Flowers' with what looks like focused precision. I mean, just look at the composition, how it's packed with colour and organic forms. You can tell the painting wasn't dashed off in a hurry; it evolved slowly, carefully. I can imagine Bilokur in her garden, totally absorbed, observing all the details of the plants and flowers, and then trying to capture that feeling on canvas, making something totally her own. It reminds me a little of folk art traditions, but there's also something unique to the touch, you know? It's not just about representation; it's like she's breathing life into the flowers with every stroke. The textures created with the paint evoke so many different sensations. Painters have always looked at the world around them for inspiration, borrowing and building upon each other's visions. We are all having a conversation across time. What I see here is a kind of celebration of beauty, a personal expression that transcends technique. I love how she just went for it, creating her own version of the world.
