Tatko is a deeply sentimental piece in Zdenka’s collection of rose paintings, dedicated to her late father – Zdenko. In Slovakian, Zdenka’s native language, tatko means daddy.
The painting has been crafted with a lot of care and appreciation for the opulence, vitality, and three-dimensionality of roses. It combines the traditional brush stroke technique, layers of glazing and impasto elements to create an unparalleled visual depth.
In particular, the impasto strokes across the intricate petals of the roses offer a delicate sculptural effect that catches the light in the room and hence emphasises these beloved flowers – affording viewers the sensory delight of almost perceiving the softness and fragility of the petals through their eyes.
The densely layered paint strokes create a dynamic surface that artfully interacts with light, yielding a mesmerizing play of highlights and shadows. The result is a visually captivating and emotionally evocative portrayal of a timeless and cherished subject, meticulously crafted to resonate with the discerning eye.
Immerse yourself in the sumptuous textures, the nuanced interplay of light and shadow, and the sublime color palette. Bear witness to the seamless fusion of artistic virtuosity and the beguiling allure of nature, masterfully encapsulated within this extraordinary work of art.
