Title: Oil painting Morning city Oleksiy Ivanyuk Description: No.AAA5570The Oil painting Canvas titled “Morning city” captures the fleeting poetry of urban life as it awakens with the first light of day. Through a bold impasto style and expressive strokes, the artist invites viewers to experience not only a cityscape but also the emotional atmosphere that lingers in the early hours. This work transforms the ordinary into something extraordinary, where color and texture become storytellers of vitality, movement, and quiet anticipation. The foreground of the painting is a lively tapestry of green, orange, and red, rendered with thick applications of paint that suggest a park or boulevard filled with vegetation and the hum of human presence. The brushstrokes create a rhythm, almost musical, as if the city itself is humming a morning tune. Among the patches of color, abstract forms emerge—figures, cars, and a yellow bus—signifying the flow of life, the commute of workers, and the first stirrings of a new day. The suggestion of these details, left partially to the viewer’s imagination, strengthens the feeling of motion, as if the city cannot stand still. The middle ground is dominated by a dense curtain of trees in vibrant shades of green, orange, and gold. Their lushness contrasts with the more structured and rigid forms of the background, softening the transition from the urban to the natural. The trees act as both guardians and veils, hinting at the harmony between nature and the constructed world. Their fiery hues evoke the sensation of sunlight filtering through leaves, as if the day itself is stretching awake, painting the landscape with warmth and brilliance. In the distance rise pale beige and cream-colored buildings, rendered with angular strokes that contrast the organic swirls of the trees. These structures are not cold monoliths but rather shimmering forms bathed in the soft haze of morning light. They seem to dissolve slightly into the sky, blurring the line between solid matter and atmosphere, suggesting the ephemeral quality of city mornings when light transforms concrete into gold. The juxtaposition of the buildings with the vibrancy below symbolizes the coexistence of modern life with its eternal natural counterpart, emphasizing how one frames and relies upon the other.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Morning city"* ARTIST: Oleksiy Ivanyuk* 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.
