Velvet Paths of Love, 30" x 40"

Oil on Canvas, 30 x 40 x 2 inches.

This multilayered oil painting is part of Anastasia’s evocative series exploring Love and the journeys we take through life. Inspired by a serene meadow in the Vancouver area—one of her favorite plein air spots during the summer—this piece blends nature and emotion into a rich, conceptual landscape.

Winding paths stretch across the canvas, each representing the unique and often unpredictable directions our lives can take. Anastasia shares, “These paths are metaphors for the human experience. Each of us walks a different route, guided by our choices, challenges, and dreams. But one thing always remains constant: Love. It’s the universal thread that connects us all.” With tender brushstrokes and luminous layers of oil, Anastasia invites the viewer to reflect on their own journey. Her message is timeless and hopeful: no matter where life leads us, every path—sooner or later—returns to love.

Award-winning Seattle-based oil painter Anastasia Fedorova creates unique multilayer oil paintings using the traditional Renaissance Italian technique impasto. Her oil paintings have many layers of different oil paintings. Sometimes there could be up to six layers, which she paints one on top of another. Her unique technique allows her to achieve incredible depth in her oil paintings and makes her works full of vivid and sumptuous colours.
