Title: Oil painting Alley in the park Alex Kalenyuk Description: №AAA5278The oil painting on Canvas titled "Alley in the Park" is a vibrant and emotionally immersive portrayal of a serene moment amid the lush canopy of a sun-drenched park. With expressive brushwork and radiant hues, the artist captures more than just a scene—this work evokes an atmosphere, a memory of walking beneath arching trees where light and shadow perform their timeless dance. The composition draws the viewer’s gaze along a winding path, leading deep into the painting's layered space. The alley itself is not rigidly defined by straight lines or geometric perspective but instead unfolds organically through dynamic color patches—each brushstroke a piece of the pathway carved into a living forest. The shades of soft lavender, cobalt blue, and pale rose are layered with energy, suggesting filtered light bouncing off gravel, fallen leaves, and grass. On either side of the alley, tall trees rise like natural columns in a cathedral of foliage. Their trunks and branches twist and stretch toward the sky, painted in rich strokes of forest green, deep umber, and ochre. Their dense crowns, rendered in heavy, textured strokes, suggest a mixture of late-summer or early-autumn leaves catching brilliant golden light. Amid the dark greens and browns, brilliant dashes of yellow, orange, and even flame red appear, mimicking the sun’s warm caress. The trees create a tunnel of foliage, both protective and luminous, sheltering all below. At the heart of the composition, a radiant burst of golden light spills from the background, as if the park opens into a glowing clearing beyond the alley. This focal light floods forward, bathing the path in warmth and creating a visual crescendo. The glow is not a distant source but something enveloping, something that touches every figure and leaf it meets. Interspersed along the alley are human figures that animate the space with narrative potential. Rendered with minimal detail yet striking clarity, these figures embody moments of leisure and quiet reflection. A woman and child walk hand in hand in the foreground, their backs turned to us, inviting us to follow them into the golden glow. Others are seated or strolling, some in solitary contemplation, others in small groups, their clothing daubed in gentle accents of crimson, ochre, and blue.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Alley in the park"* ARTISTS: Alex Kalenyuk* SIZE: 15x20 cm/5.90x7.87 inches'* MEDIUM: oil, canvas* HAND PAINTED: Original painting from our collection* CONDITION: we tried to convey the maximum information with the help of photos about this product About the artist: Born March 13, 1954, in the city of Piryatin, Poltava region.
