Cherry Blossom 2005

"Cherry Blossom" is a pastel drawing created by Ukrainian artist Tetyana Yablonska in 2005, the year of her death. The work showcases Yablonska's signature style, employing loose, gestural strokes of pastel on a dark green ground. Yablonska's focus on capturing the essence of the subject, rather than precise detail, gives the artwork a sense of immediacy and emotion. The delicate white blossoms of the cherry tree stand out against the dark background, evoking a sense of ephemeral beauty and the passage of time.
