Poppie Fields

The painting titled "Poppie Fields" by Kęstutis Jauniškis presents a captivating abstraction of a landscape, possibly evoking the image of blooming poppy fields. The artist uses a vivid palette dominated by shades of red and orange, contrasted with subtle hints of blue, yellow, and white, which brighten and add depth to the composition.The work is vertically divided roughly into two unequal parts: a large expansive space filled with a soft, off-white hue that occupies the upper portion and a more intensely colored lower section, depicting the fields. The gentle fading of colors from the vibrant, detailed bottom to the almost empty top portion draws the viewer’s eye across the layers of paint and possible horizon lines.This dichotomy in the artwork could suggest a juxtaposition of emptiness and abundance or perhaps the transition between earth and sky. The relatively minimalistic and open space at the top might represent the vast sky, offering a calm counterpoint to the more dynamically colored land below.Jauniškis's use of texture adds an intriguing element; there are areas where the paint appears thickly applied, creating a tactile surface that invites closer inspection.
