Title: Oil painting Village Memories Oleksiy Ivanyuk Description: №Kalen 1610The oil painting on Canvas titled "Village Memories" is a warm and nostalgic depiction of rural life, inviting the viewer into a peaceful summer day in the countryside. With luminous greens, gentle pastels, and expressive brushstrokes, the artist conjures an idyllic memory — not merely a scene, but a feeling. The work radiates a deep connection to nature, to home, and to the simple pleasures that linger in the soul long after the moment has passed. In the foreground, a soft, sunlit meadow spreads out in a tapestry of vibrant green tones. The brushwork is rich and textural, layering shades of emerald, moss, and lemon-lime with hints of purple and cobalt, creating depth and movement across the grass. The land curves gently, guiding the eye into the middle of the composition where life unfolds quietly and tenderly. The artist’s treatment of light, filtering through invisible clouds, gives the scene a glowing softness, as though it exists half in reality and half in memory. Three tall trees stand to the left, their trunks rendered in textured strokes of earth brown, orange, and dark greens. Their shapes are not precise but rather emotive, almost dreamlike — as though seen through the veil of time. They cast soft, elongated shadows across the grass, suggesting the hour is late afternoon, a time of rest and reflection. Amid the trees, small figures begin to emerge. A woman and child, likely family, stroll along the path, their presence subtle yet deeply evocative. Their forms are not overly detailed, but that only strengthens their universal resonance — they could be anyone, from any village, evoking shared memories of generational bonds and carefree childhood days. Further down the hill, other villagers can be seen sitting on a bench and walking under the shade of trees. The understated human activity blends naturally into the landscape, emphasizing harmony between people and their environment. The background is framed by a distant village nestled among rolling hills and soft purple shadows. Houses with red and white rooftops peek through a blanket of trees, their placement both deliberate and poetic. The suggestion of a small chapel or tower atop the hill in the distance hints at community, tradition, and spiritual life — ever-present yet unobtrusive.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Village Memories"* ARTISTS: Oleksiy Ivanyuk* SIZE: 85x125 cm/'33.46x49.21 inches'* MEDIUM: oil, canvas* HAND PAINTED: Original painting from our collection* CONDITION: Photos provide accurate information about the product.About the artist: Born March 13, 1954, in the city of Piryatin, Poltava region.
