Title: Oil painting Edge of the village Oleksiy Ivanyuk Description: No.AAA5621The Oil painting Canvas titled “Edge of the village” unfolds as a vibrant tapestry of color and texture, where the brushstrokes carry both energy and tenderness, capturing the intimate beauty of a rural landscape at its boundary. At first glance, the viewer is drawn into a dense composition where homes, nature, and human presence intertwine, creating a lively portrait of life where settlement meets the untamed richness of the surrounding land. The work is alive with motion, as if each stroke carries the whisper of wind, the rustle of trees, or the murmur of village voices. Dominating the composition are clusters of small village houses, painted with glowing white walls and roofs of radiant crimson, their fiery tones igniting the center of the canvas. These rooftops seem to shine with warmth, symbolizing the heart of the community, offering a sense of shelter and continuity. The architectural forms, though simplified and softened by expressive brushwork, convey sturdiness and permanence. They rise rhythmically across the upper half of the painting, like a chorus of dwellings that stand against the lush and layered greenery that envelopes them. Surrounding the houses, the trees and vegetation burst forth in an exuberant spectrum of colors—emerald greens, golden ochres, rich purples, and deep violets interwoven with accents of pinks and soft lilacs. The foliage is painted with generous, swirling impasto, each leaf and branch suggested rather than defined, giving the impression of nature in constant flux. The use of purple and violet tones in particular imbues the landscape with a lyrical, almost dreamlike quality, as though the village is cradled by an enchanted forest alive with memory and myth. The lower portion of the canvas grounds the scene with earthy hues of yellow, brown, and muted green. The strokes here are broader, suggesting a grassy meadow or pathway leading outward from the village, evoking the transition between cultivated life and the wild, open spaces beyond. This edge, where village meets nature, becomes a metaphorical threshold: a place of both safety and adventure, of rootedness and expansion. It is at this border where human settlement blends seamlessly with the grandeur of the natural world.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Edge of the village"* 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.
