Title: Oil painting Walking on the river bridge Oksana Kalenyuk Description: NoAAA3809This oil painting cardboard, titled "Walking on the river bridge", the composition is structured around a rustic wooden bridge stretching across the river, serving as the focal point of the painting. The bridge, rendered in earthy golden tones, creates a strong horizontal element that contrasts with the vertical reflections in the water below. Two figures sit at the center of the bridge, their relaxed posture suggesting a moment of contemplation or quiet conversation. Another figure, walking in the background, adds depth and movement, reinforcing the idea of a peaceful passage across the water. The reflections of the bridge and figures in the river create a mesmerizing mirror effect, further emphasizing the stillness of the scene. The background features a dense, autumn-colored forest, its warm hues contrasting beautifully with the cool greens of the water. The trees, painted in deep browns, oranges, and yellows, provide a rich, textured backdrop that frames the central bridge and figures. The sky is only partially visible, painted in soft, blended tones that enhance the warm, golden atmosphere. The golden bridge stands out against the darker background, drawing attention to the human figures. The reflection in the water is particularly striking, with reds and browns blending seamlessly into the green surface, capturing the dynamic interplay of light and shadow. The lighting in the painting is subtle yet effective, with the soft glow of the sun illuminating the scene, casting gentle highlights on the bridge and figures. The shadows are painted with blended strokes, adding depth and a sense of realism while maintaining the impressionistic style. The reflections in the water are executed with a mix of blended and dynamic strokes, creating a slightly distorted yet recognizable mirror image. The figures are painted with minimal detail, focusing instead on their posture and positioning to convey emotion and interaction. This impressionistic approach allows the viewer to fill in the details with their imagination, making the painting more immersive and engaging. The reflections in the water add a dreamlike quality to the painting, symbolizing the fluidity of time and memory. The combination of warm autumn tones and the soft green water creates an atmosphere that feels both comforting and melancholic, evoking thoughts of fleeting moments and the quiet beauty of everyday life.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Walking on the river bridge"* ARTISTS: Oksana Kalenyuk* SIZE: 15x20 cm/'5.90x7.87 inches' * MEDIUM: oil, cardboard* HAND PAINTED: Original painting from our collection* CONDITION: we tried to convey the maximum information with the help of photos about this productAbout the artists: Kalenyuk Oksana was born in 1964 in Rivne region.
