Title: Oil painting Village near the swamps Oksana Ivanyuk Description: No.AAA5839The Oil painting Canvas titled "Village near the swamps" captures the quiet, intimate charm of rural life, where simplicity, tradition, and nature seamlessly intertwine. The artist skillfully uses bold impasto strokes, layering vibrant pigments to create not only a visual impression but also a tactile sense of the land’s richness. Each brushstroke contributes to a composition filled with warmth, authenticity, and the rhythms of country living, transporting the viewer to a scene where time seems to move slower and every detail breathes with pastoral serenity. The central focus of the painting is the traditional whitewashed village houses with thatched roofs, resting comfortably on the slope of a gentle hill. Their muted earth tones of brown, beige, and soft ochre blend naturally with the green surroundings, evoking the simplicity and durability of rural architecture. The houses are positioned under a soft violet-pink sky, painted with expressive, swirling strokes that suggest the lingering light of dawn or dusk. This sky bathes the entire composition in a calm, contemplative atmosphere, as if nature itself is pausing to breathe. In the foreground, the slope of the hill is alive with shades of green and golden yellow. Broad, textured strokes bring to life grassy fields, pathways, and cultivated patches, while the earth beneath reveals a rich palette of ochres and browns. To the left of the hill, a few haystacks rise proudly, their warm golden tones contrasting with the lush green fields. These haystacks not only speak of the labor and productivity of village life but also serve as sculptural elements within the composition, adding rhythm and balance. A small wooden boat rests at the very edge of the swampy waters, painted in cool blues and greens, its simple presence hinting at human connection with the land and water. The water itself reflects patches of surrounding greenery and sky, painted with quick, thick strokes that evoke ripples and movement. The swampy vegetation—long reeds and grasses—emerges vividly from the bottom of the painting, their sharp vertical strokes breaking the horizontal calm of the water and field. They symbolize both the wildness of nature and the symbiotic relationship the villagers share with it.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Village near the swamps"* ARTIST: Oksana 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: Ivanyuk Oksana was born in 1964 in Rivne region.
