A
ustralian painter Yolanta Desjardins employs precision and a compositional style with inviting warm color hues in still life's, landscapes, and portraits. Her paintings of personal figures and intimate moments explore youth, family bonds, and seasonal beauty through nature. Desjardins' work is modest and profound, as she adds a light air and a sense of intimacy in warm lighting and soft brushstrokes. A gift for capturing the joyful honesty in the eyes of her human subjects, with a keen sense for layers and color that evoke each person's emotion and unique personality. Beyond the elegance of Desjardins compositions, she captures objects hinting towards the history of each person and setting observing her subject's relationship to the background using light as the compass for that which connects the two.
