Title: Oil painting A quiet village spread over the hills Yuriy Suprunchuk Description: No.AAA5540The Oil painting on Cardboard titled “A quiet village spread over the hills” evokes the timeless charm and serenity of a rural landscape, where human settlement blends seamlessly into the undulating embrace of nature. The composition unfolds with a winding path that gently guides the eye toward a cluster of rustic houses, each one imbued with character and individuality, painted in tones of warm ochre, earthy red, and soft pastel hues. The textured brushstrokes and vibrant palette capture not only the physical presence of the village but also the tranquil rhythm of life that unfolds in such a secluded setting. The foreground is dominated by a meandering dirt path, painted with expressive strokes of beige, cream, and light gray, its uneven surface suggesting years of footsteps worn into the earth. This path snakes through lush green meadows, rendered with varying shades of emerald, olive, and jade, their tones layered and blended to create a sense of depth and vitality. The grasses, flecked with thick, gestural strokes, sway with an almost palpable movement, as if whispering the gentle stories of the countryside. The path is not only a visual anchor but also a symbolic one, representing the quiet journey of village life, where daily routines unfold at a pace guided by nature rather than the rush of modernity. The houses, central to the composition, are painted with bold yet intimate strokes. Their sloping roofs, in tones of muted pink, earthy brown, and soft blue, stand out against the deep greens of the surrounding foliage and the purples of the distant hills. Each structure seems humble yet full of character, a reflection of lives lived in close connection with the land. The placement of the houses along the gentle rise of the hills conveys both community and individuality, as if each home has grown naturally into its place within the larger landscape. Subtle details—such as windows hinted at with quick dabs of lighter paint and the suggestion of laundry or tools nearby—breathe life into the settlement, giving the impression of a lived-in, yet peaceful, environment. Behind the village, a dense line of trees painted in deep greens, browns, and occasional dark blues provides a protective backdrop, separating the village from the looming presence of the hills. The trees are depicted with textured, almost abstract brushstrokes, their canopies thick and impenetrable, offering both shelter and mystery. Rising above them, the hills stretch across the horizon, their forms softened by layers of indigo, violet, and slate blue. These distant shapes anchor the composition, reminding viewers of the vastness of nature that cradles the small village below. The contrast between the sturdy houses and the grandeur of the mountains creates a balance between human life and the immensity of the natural world.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "A quiet village spread over the hills"* ARTIST: Yuriy Suprunchuk* SIZE: 14.5x19.5 cm/5.70x7.67 inches'* MEDIUM: oil, ?ardboard* 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.
