Title: Oil painting A walk in the park Oksana Kalenyuk

Description: №AAA5192 The oil painting on Canvas titled "A walk in the park" is an expressive and emotionally vivid interpretation of a tranquil moment in a public garden or small city park. Executed in a vigorous impasto style, the work uses thick, confident strokes and a dynamic color palette to evoke both the physical movement of nature and the human presence that gently inhabits it. The artist creates a scene that is both familiar and dreamlike—where trees twist in gesture, colors pulse with energy, and everyday life takes on the quality of memory. The central composition leads the eye along a winding path bordered by tall, wiry trees whose trunks are painted in expressive reds, oranges, and browns. These trees are not just compositional elements—they feel alive, like sentinels arching over the path, casting flickering shadows, their branches like veins extending into a pale yellow sky. Light appears filtered through foliage and memory, with touches of ivory and lilac suggesting both blooming branches and soft, dappled light. In the background, nestled among the trees, is a small rotunda or pavilion with a rounded, greenish dome and white columns. It stands quietly, almost like a forgotten temple, offering a serene focal point that contrasts with the more chaotic textures of nature around it. The domed structure appears sacred and yet accessible, as if it has absorbed the footsteps and whispers of countless past visitors. The blue and teal hues used in its rendering give it a cooling presence amidst the otherwise warm, rust-toned scene. Throughout the foreground and middle distance, figures appear—small and gestural—painted with quick dabs of crimson, plum, blue, and black. They are strolling, standing, perhaps speaking. Their postures are loose and ambiguous, suggesting the casual intimacy of everyday encounters. These people are part of the park, not isolated from it; they blend into their surroundings, as though the foliage and stone have grown to accept their presence. The looseness of form allows the viewer’s imagination to fill in the details, making each figure universal and open to interpretation.
