Title: Oil painting Work silence under the evening sky Oleksiy Ivanyuk

Description: NoAAA5375

The Oil painting on Canvas titled "Work silence under the evening sky" immerses the viewer in a quiet, sun-drenched rural scene that seems to breathe with nostalgia and pastoral warmth. The composition features a pair of traditional village houses, modest in scale and tucked into a richly textured landscape. Their earthy facades and brown-orange roofs bask in the golden light of the late afternoon, while their walls reflect warm hues of cream, taupe, and sienna, giving a sense of timeworn solidity and domestic tranquility. The scene is brought to life with expressive, impasto brushwork that emphasizes the tactile qualities of oil on canvas. The artist's deliberate, almost sculptural strokes shape the rooftops, window frames, and garden surroundings with a raw and vibrant energy. The sky above, though not fully visible, casts its presence through dappled shades on the ground and the foliage, hinting at the waning daylight typical of a serene evening. In the foreground, a red-brown cow grazes leisurely in a lush, overgrown pasture, its form simplified but clearly defined through confident swathes of color. This small detail not only animates the landscape but anchors the viewer in the rustic rhythm of agrarian life. The grass itself bursts in a mosaic of lemon yellows, spring greens, and cobalt shadows, evoking the fading glow of the sun as it filters through the dense tree canopy above. The leafy branches extending into the upper corners of the painting are rendered in expressive, sweeping gestures that oscillate between deep greens, ochres, and hints of burnt sienna. These create a cooling counterbalance to the sunlit structures, suggesting the encroaching presence of evening. The denseness of the foliage and the layering of pigment evoke a sense of nature's embrace around the man-made dwellings, reinforcing the harmony between rural life and the natural world. Color plays a crucial role in shaping the emotional tone of the piece. Rather than merely describing form, the artist uses vibrant, contrasting tones to suggest time, atmosphere, and memory. The violets and blues in the shadows imply the quiet shift of day into dusk, while the saturated reds and yellows capture the energy and labor of the day just passed. What's most striking is the balance between silence and subtle movement.
