An autumn park 1959

Mariam Aslamazian made this oil painting, called 'An autumn park', with strokes of blue, yellow and brown. I imagine her, standing outside, trying to capture the light as it flickers through the leaves and branches. I really appreciate how she's built up layers of color to evoke the feeling of autumn. See those dark lines of the branches? They aren't just outlines; they’re like gestures, each one a confident move, maybe even a little wobbly, full of character. There's a real physical presence, like the painting itself is breathing. The way she's handled the paint reminds me of other painters like Bonnard, who was able to turn a simple landscape into something emotionally resonant. It makes you think about how artists are always looking at each other, across time, borrowing, riffing, keeping the conversation going. Aslamazian offers her own perspective on the world, embracing the ambiguity and uncertainty of life. It’s a piece that invites us to slow down, look closely, and find our own meaning within its depths.
