Title: Oil painting Village memories Oleksiy Ivanyuk Description: No.AAA5597The Oil painting Canvas titled “Village memories” captures the nostalgia and warmth of rural life with bold colors and expressive brushstrokes that evoke both personal recollections and universal sentiments of simplicity, community, and belonging. The artist has crafted a vivid scene where the architecture of the village, the natural landscape, and the presence of its people merge into a harmonious and emotional composition that feels both intimate and timeless. At the center of the canvas stands a rustic house with a warm red roof, its walls painted in textured strokes of beige, cream, and white. This dwelling, though modest, radiates an aura of familiarity and comfort, anchoring the viewer to the essence of home. The bold application of paint gives the structure solidity and weight, yet the shimmering, uneven texture conveys the imperfect beauty of village architecture, where every crack and shadow tells a story of generations. Surrounding this main house are additional red-roofed buildings, partially obscured by vibrant strokes of green, blue, and violet, suggesting a clustered village where lives intertwine closely. The background unfolds into a dramatic tapestry of colors. Layers of blue, purple, and pink dominate the distant hills and sky, capturing the poetic quality of memory itself—fragmented, shifting, and deeply saturated with feeling. Above, bold streaks of turquoise and green brush the upper sky, infusing the scene with both vibrancy and a dreamlike quality. These background tones are not merely descriptive of nature; they also function symbolically, embodying the weight of memory and the idealized way we recall places that shaped us. The foreground, painted with sandy tones of beige, ochre, and cream, depicts a village pathway, lively and worn by the footsteps of countless villagers. Here, human presence is subtly suggested: small, dark silhouettes painted in hues of blue, red, and yellow indicate figures engaged in conversation or moving quietly through the village. Their placement, intimate and close to one another, reinforces the theme of community and shared experience. A small black figure, possibly a dog, adds a sense of domestic life and companionship, grounding the memory in everyday detail.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Village memories"* 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.
