Elemental Flow

This dynamic oil painting by Zsuzsanna Pataki captures the raw vitality of a cascading waterfall set against rugged, sunlit rocks. Pataki’s signature use of bold, textured brushstrokes and vibrant colours brings the scene to life, with torrents of water rendered in luminous whites and blues that splash energetically into a crystalline pool below.

The surrounding rocks, painted in fiery hues of gold, rust, and ochre, contrast sharply with the cool tones of the rushing water, creating a powerful interplay between warmth and freshness, stillness and movement. The painting exudes both drama and serenity, inviting the viewer to feel the force of nature while also experiencing its calming rhythm.

Pataki’s expressive style allows the viewer’s eye to follow the flow of water downward, mirroring the natural journey of the waterfall itself. The work celebrates nature’s resilience and beauty, translating its energy into a rich and tactile visual experience.
