A sense of movement permeates the painting, as light dances across the leaves in Rudka’s “Luminous Arbor.” Using sprinkled paint technique to create an abundant collection of circles that resemble blossoms, the artist layers colors, juxtaposing an electric blue with gold, orange, and white, giving it an otherworldly effect. This is not merely a still life, but a visual poem that feels deeply, beautifully spiritual.
