Description from the seller
In Citrus Reverie, Ukrainian artist Oleg Sharapavovsky captures the fleeting vitality of a floral arrangement through an expressive language of colour and gesture. A bouquet of lilac blossoms and golden flowers rises from a deep blue vessel, accompanied by the vibrant presence of a freshly cut grapefruit whose luminous flesh introduces a striking chromatic accent.
Executed with the artist's characteristic palette knife technique, the composition is built from rich layers of oil paint that celebrate the physicality of the medium. Thick passages of violet, rose, emerald and ochre interact with soft neutral tones, allowing the surface to shimmer with movement and changing light. Every mark remains visible, preserving the spontaneity of the artist's hand.
The still life balances energy with tranquillity. The airy bouquet contrasts beautifully with the weight of the ceramic vase, while the grapefruit provides both visual balance and symbolic freshness, evoking themes of abundance, renewal and the quiet rituals of everyday life.
Rooted in the tradition of European floral painting yet unmistakably contemporary, Citrus Reverie demonstrates Sharapavovsky's ability to transform familiar subjects into emotionally resonant compositions through colour, texture and atmosphere.

Oleg Sharapanovsky (b. 1964) is a Ukrainian painter whose work is inspired by the changing light, colour and atmosphere of the natural world. Working primarily in oil with a palette knife using impasto and alla prima techniques, he creates richly textured landscapes and still lifes that capture the immediacy of a fleeting moment rather than its literal appearance.
Rooted in the traditions of Impressionism, Sharapanovsky’s paintings are guided by intuition and a profound appreciation for nature. His works are held in private collections across Europe and North America, reflecting the universal appeal of his expressive and luminous vision.
Oleg Sharapanovsky is represented by Havisham & Co., where his paintings are introduced to collectors through curated sales and selected auction placements.
