Title: Oil painting Steppe breeze Alex Kalenyuk Description: №Kalen 1287"Steppe Breeze" is an expressive oil painting that captures the essence of movement and the vast openness of the steppe with a dynamic and textured application of paint. The artist's use of the impasto technique is prominent, giving the artwork a lively and tactile quality. The painting features two central figures that resemble trees or vegetative forms swaying in the wind. These figures are composed of bold, thick strokes in dark brown and deep violet hues, with lighter accents of white and pink highlighting their edges, suggesting movement as they bend in the breeze. The background consists of a muted gray sky, smooth and understated, which serves as a stark canvas for the vibrant activity in the foreground. It hints at the expansive and uncluttered sky typical of steppe regions, conveying a sense of isolation and the relentless force of nature. Below the figures, the steppe is depicted with broad strokes of vivid green, interspersed with patches of yellow and orange. This colorful ground layer seems to ripple with the wind, creating a visual representation of the grasslands' undulating motion. Foreground details include what appears to be small rocks or shrubs at the base of the figures, rendered in warmer tones of orange and brown. These elements anchor the composition, providing a sense of scale and grounding the forms amidst the sweeping gestures that dominate the piece. Overall, "Steppe Breeze" evokes the feeling of a remote, wind-swept landscape alive with motion. The artist's choice of colors, combined with the vigorous brushwork, effectively conveys the raw energy of the steppe and the elemental dance between earth and air. It's a piece that resonates with the freedom and the untamed spirit of the natural world.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Steppe breeze"* ARTISTS: Alex Kalenyuk* SIZE: 18x24 cm/'7.08x9.44 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.
