Fire Flower (made in Cooperation with Galyna Zubchenko and Victor Zaretsky) 1960

"Fire Flower" is a 1960 artwork by Ukrainian artist Alla Horska (1929–1970). The piece is a striking example of her signature style, characterized by intricate geometric patterns created through the meticulous application of wood veneer. The composition is dominated by a central motif of a bright starburst emanating from a swirling, organic center. The vibrant colors and intricate details evoke a sense of both dynamism and cosmic wonder. Horska’s innovative approach to using veneer as a medium paved the way for future generations of Ukrainian artists.
