Title: Oil painting Autumn silence Oksana Kalenyuk Description: №AAA5147 The oil painting on Cardboard titled "Autumn Silence" immerses the viewer in the golden, contemplative hush of a fall landscape where time appears to pause. The composition is dominated by richly textured haystacks, lined up like quiet sentinels beneath the warm slant of autumn light. The scene captures a moment that feels sacred—an invitation to observe and to feel the stillness that comes after the labor of the harvest has ended. The haystacks are painted in earthy ochres, burnt siennas, deep oranges, and soft purples, crowned with glints of pale yellow and ivory that suggest either the last light of day or the first touch of frost. Each haystack is slightly different in shape and contour, giving the impression of individuality within repetition. Their thick, sculptural brushstrokes make them appear tactile, grounded, and full of life even in stillness. Their supportive poles jut into the air like rooted limbs, giving a subtle rhythm to the scene, echoing the trees behind them. The background forms a dense, almost impenetrable forest. This wall of foliage, rendered in deep wine reds, shadowy greens, and dusky purples, stands like a curtain drawn against the fading day. The trees are not sharply defined—they pulse with abstract energy, their trunks and branches emerging from the shadows with bold strokes of crimson and umber. The interplay between the soft foreground and the intense, mysterious backdrop creates a striking contrast that enhances the meditative mood of the work. The foreground is an expanse of yellowed grass and earth, painted with confident, sweeping strokes of ochre, mustard, and muted blue. The surface feels uneven, trampled by work now done, and yet, no human figures remain. This absence is key to the silence of the piece—everything has been gathered, stored, completed. What remains is the breath of the land and the rustle of dry grass in the air. The use of color in "Autumn Silence" is particularly expressive. The warm golden hues convey peace and closure, while the cooler shades—violets, blues, and charcoal—speak of the coming stillness of winter. There is no visible sky, only the suggestion of twilight seeping in through the upper edge of the canvas, bringing a dreamlike, suspended atmosphere. It is neither bright nor dark, but a moment of transition, a space between the visible and the invisible.
