Title: Oil painting Village life in silence Oleksiy Ivanyuk Description: No.AAA5827The Oil painting Canvas titled "Village life in silence" unfolds as a lyrical celebration of rural simplicity, painted with bold impasto strokes that breathe vitality into the tranquil scene. At first glance, the viewer is greeted with a sense of serenity, as if time itself has slowed down to honor the gentle rhythm of village life. The composition balances human presence with the embrace of nature, a harmony underscored by the artist’s use of vivid, contrasting colors and dynamic brushwork. The foreground is dominated by a stretch of land covered in luminous green and yellow hues, painted in thick, expressive strokes that capture the texture of grass glistening in the light. Dabs of red, orange, and white punctuate this field, representing villagers at work or perhaps scattered flowers that enrich the natural carpet. These bright strokes animate the field without overwhelming the calm atmosphere, reminding us that life in the countryside is never completely still—it hums gently, with its own unique pace. To the left, part of a modest house comes into view, its pale walls touched by shades of lavender and cream. A small window framed in green provides a glimpse of domestic intimacy, a silent witness to everyday moments unfolding inside. On the right, another house stands more prominently, its large sloping roof covered in tones of grey, pink, and beige. The solidity of these structures suggests permanence and belonging, their presence grounding the landscape in the lived experiences of the villagers. Behind the houses, a mass of trees rises upward in bold swirls of deep green, brown, and red. The brushstrokes here are dense and layered, lending the impression of a thick, protective forest that shields the homes from the outside world. Above, the sky is alive with movement—blue, purple, and cream mingle with expressive curves of paint, conveying drifting clouds and shifting light. Despite the vibrancy of the palette, the atmosphere remains contemplative, as if the artist sought to capture not just what the eye sees but also what the heart feels when confronted with the quiet dignity of village life.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Village life in silence"* 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.
