Mural: Serene Landscape by Anastasiia in Vancouver

Location: Private Residence, Ukraine, Kharkiv Year: 2019 Description: This mural was created as a serene and immersive landscape, bringing the beauty of nature into the heart of a private home. Painted on the wall of a staircase landing, it depicts a breathtaking view from the veranda: a river flowing between majestic mountains, with a lush forest stretching in the distance. The composition evokes a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature. Using a warm color palette, I aimed to create an atmosphere of coziness and peace, blending soft earthy tones with the gentle light of sunset. The detailed elements—such as the reflections in the water, the leaves on the trees, and the mountain peaks—add depth to the composition, creating a sense of volume and life. Every brushstroke was made with the intention of allowing the viewer to feel as though they were standing on the veranda, breathing in the fresh air and taking in the magnificence of the natural world. Process: Creating this mural was a journey of capturing the beauty of the surrounding nature and integrating it into the home’s space. I carefully planned the layout to ensure that the landscape would seamlessly blend with the staircase landing and create a sense of continuity with the outdoor view. By focusing on fine details and layering the paint, I aimed to convey the realism of the landscape while preserving its peaceful atmosphere. Outcome: The finished mural became a striking focal point, transforming the staircase landing into a picturesque window to nature. The harmonious blend of colors and the intricate landscape design create a sense of calm and inspiration, inviting viewers into a world of natural beauty and tranquility.
