Title: Acrylic painting The sound of water among the rocks Mykhailo Patskan Description: NoAAA4875The acrylic painting on cardboard titled "The Sound of Water Among the Rocks" captures the vibrant spirit and unrelenting movement of a mountain waterfall as it cascades over ancient stone formations. Rendered with bold, expressive brushstrokes and a rich, dramatic palette, the artwork invites the viewer into a world where water and rock engage in an eternal dialogue-fluidity against solidity, motion against stillness. The composition centers around the waterfall, a luminous stream of white and cool tones that rushes downward with energy and freedom. The cascading water is depicted through a dynamic interplay of whites, pale violets, and light blues, effectively conveying the texture and froth of turbulent water. The artist uses impasto techniques to give the water a tactile quality-thick, confident layers of acrylic paint create depth and dimension, making the flow feel almost audible. It's easy to imagine the soothing roar and splash, the rhythmic crashing against the stones below, and the echo it would produce in a secluded forest valley. The rocks over which the waterfall tumbles are richly painted in dark purples, earthy browns, and mossy greens. These hues, though deep and weighty, are enlivened by the presence of streaks of blue and violet, which hint at wet surfaces catching the ambient light. The use of cooler tones for the shadows contrasts beautifully with the soft whites of the water, emphasizing both the roughness of the stone and the softness of the stream. The layered rock structures appear almost sculptural, carved over time by the very water that now courses over them. Surrounding the waterfall is a deep green environment, painted in rich, layered tones that suggest a forested backdrop. The suggestion of foliage is present but not defined, allowing the viewer's imagination to fill in the textures of mosses, trees, and ferns. This indistinct background enhances the feeling of seclusion, as if this waterfall is hidden away in an untouched natural sanctuary, far from human interference. The viewer becomes a quiet observer of a sacred natural performance that has repeated endlessly through time. At the bottom of the composition, the water pools and spreads, tinged with subtle reflections of the rocks and possibly the sky above. Hints of warm reds and purples on the ground contrast with the cooler tones of the water and rock, suggesting the interplay of light as it shifts with the day's progression.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "The sound of water among the rocks"* ARTISTS: Mykhailo Patskan* SIZE: 30x20 cm/'11.81x7.87 inches' * MEDIUM: acrylic, cardboard* HAND PAINTED: Original painting from our collection* CONDITION: Photos provide accurate information about the product.About the artists: Mykhailo Stepanovych Patskan Born on January 18, 1961 in the city of Khust.
