Title: Oil painting Path to the sky Yuriy Suprunchuk Description: №AAA5299The oil painting on Cardboard titled "Path to the Sky" transports the viewer into a world where the horizon meets the heavens and the earth breathes with life. Executed with confidence and sensitivity on a humble piece of cardboard, this composition becomes an evocative celebration of nature’s grandeur and the poetic relationship between humans and their environment. The sky dominates the canvas, occupying nearly two-thirds of the visual space and commanding attention with its expansive, ever-changing beauty. The painter uses broad, swirling strokes of cobalt blue, soft lavenders, and opalescent whites to construct a dynamic celestial dome. Billowing clouds appear in motion, drifting slowly across the firmament, animated by gusts of wind and the subtle dance of light. The atmosphere feels vast, limitless, and alive. This sky is not simply a backdrop—it is the soul of the painting, from which the landscape draws breath and movement. Beneath this sky unfolds a gently rolling countryside. The earthen path winds from the foreground into the distance, its winding nature suggesting both journey and passage. The path is painted in soft pinks and muted browns, reflecting the light of the sky above and anchoring the entire composition in a natural rhythm. It leads the viewer's eye not just through the scene, but metaphorically toward the open sky—hence the title, "Path to the Sky." It symbolizes hope, direction, and perhaps a deeper spiritual longing for something beyond the visible world. To the left of the path stands a robust tree, its limbs twisted and strong, with leaves in warm amber, olive, and rust tones. This tree serves as a visual counterbalance to the open sky, grounding the scene in the reality of the earth. The texture of the foliage and bark is richly built through expressive strokes, conveying both density and vitality. It offers shelter, memory, and perspective. One can almost imagine the sound of the breeze rustling through its branches or the way its shadow stretches across the path in the late afternoon. Two women are depicted walking along the path, dressed in simple, pale garments. Their white and gray-blue silhouettes stand out gently against the landscape, giving the painting a touch of narrative intimacy. They carry what appear to be farming tools or bundles, hinting at daily rural life. Their figures are small but deliberate, positioned as active participants in the scene rather than mere background elements.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Path to the sky"* ARTISTS: Yuriy Suprunchuk* SIZE: 15x19.8 cm/5.90x7.71 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 product About the artist: Zhitomir artist Suprunchuk Yuri Sergeevich Born on April 11, 1961, in the city of Zhitomir.
