Title: Oil painting Village memory Oleksiy Ivanyuk Description: No.AAA5620The Oil painting Canvas titled “Village memory” is a deeply evocative work that captures not just a visual scene but also a sense of nostalgia, tradition, and the enduring rhythms of rural life. With expressive brushstrokes and thick impasto textures, the artist creates a vivid and emotional portrayal of a moment in a village, one that feels timeless and familiar. This is not simply a representation of a countryside setting but a heartfelt recollection, as if painted from memory, where every detail is infused with sentiment and warmth. The scene unfolds before a rustic stone wall, painted in tones of muted gray, lavender, and blue, its rough surface enriched by the dynamic strokes that suggest years of weathering and history. An arched gateway, slightly uneven yet full of charm, becomes the central architectural feature, hinting at the lives and stories that unfold behind its threshold. Above the wall rise the peaked rooftops of village houses, their earthy reds and warm ochres glowing against the lighter sky, grounding the painting firmly in a rural setting. The trees that crown the wall stretch their branches outward, adorned with blossoms in creamy whites and soft pinks, evoking the tender freshness of spring. These trees, painted with fluid, almost abstract strokes, symbolize renewal, continuity, and the fleeting beauty of nature that contrasts with the permanence of the village structures. Their blooming crowns carry an air of poetry, as though they, too, preserve the memory of many seasons past. In the foreground, the most poignant human detail emerges: two figures, rendered with expressive yet recognizable strokes. One, seated or bent low, wears warm tones of orange and red, suggesting age, tradition, and the grounded presence of one who has long belonged to this land. Beside them, a standing figure in deep blue and earthy hues leans forward, engaged in conversation or shared work. Their postures and closeness convey intimacy and companionship, the essence of rural community where every gesture carries weight and meaning. This interaction breathes life into the canvas, anchoring it in human memory and emotion.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Village memory"* 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.
