Title: Oil painting Bridge to the village Yuriy Suprunchuk Description: NoAAA4963The oil painting on cardboard titled "Bridge to the Village" invites the viewer into a serene and nostalgic countryside scene where nature and rustic human presence intertwine in quiet harmony. With expressive brushwork and a delicate palette of earthy greens, soft browns, and deep blues, the artist captures a tranquil moment that evokes memories of simpler times and places untouched by the rush of modern life. The central focus of the painting is an old wooden footbridge, worn and weathered by time and use. Its uneven planks, some slightly tilted or sunken, suggest the passage of many footsteps-farmers, children, perhaps fishermen-crossing the stream on their way to and from the nearby village. The bridge doesn't just connect the two banks; it becomes a symbolic passage between nature and habitation, between isolation and community. The brushstrokes used to render the bridge are confident and textured, emphasizing the rugged, handmade quality of the construction, while the soft play of light and shadow on the wood creates a sense of warmth and age. Below the bridge, the water is painted in rich shades of green, blue, and brown, suggesting depth and clarity. Reflections of the surrounding grasses and sky ripple gently on the surface, disturbed only slightly by the occasional floating leaf or reed. Aquatic plants drift lazily at the edges, creating natural patterns that soften the boundary between land and stream. The water feels alive yet peaceful, with its stillness mirroring the calm of the larger landscape. To the left and right of the stream, wild grasses and flowering plants grow freely, painted with varied brushstrokes that suggest both texture and motion. Their untamed beauty enhances the painting's naturalistic charm. The artist skillfully employs contrasting tones-light against shadow, dry earth against wet water-to create a rich, inviting terrain that feels almost three-dimensional. In the foreground, purples and yellows hint at blooming wildflowers, giving the scene seasonal context, possibly late spring or early summer.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Bridge to the village"* ARTISTS: Yuriy Suprunchuk* SIZE: 30x20 cm/'11.81x7.87 inches'* MEDIUM: oil, cardboard* HAND PAINTED: Original painting from our collection* CONDITION: Photos provide accurate information about the product.About the artist: Zhitomir artist Suprunchuk Yuri Sergeevich Born on April 11, 1961, in the city of Zhitomir.
