The Oil painting on Cardboard titled "Quiet morning by the river" is an evocative and deeply atmospheric work that captures the stillness and intimacy of nature in its earliest hours. The painting immediately immerses the viewer into a secluded riverside setting, where the natural world, bathed in the soft light of morning, offers a profound sense of peace and contemplation. The composition centers around a lone fisherman, who sits in silence at the water's edge, his presence both humble and harmonious with the surrounding landscape. The choice of subject and the treatment of light and color allow the viewer to experience not just a visual representation, but also the intangible mood of a quiet morning when time itself seems to slow down. The river, rendered in broad, fluid strokes of blue, turquoise, and hints of violet, reflects the overhanging greenery and the softened sky above. Its surface is calm, with only subtle ripples that suggest gentle movement, yet its depth is palpable. The reflections are painted in a way that blurs the distinction between water and sky, capturing the ethereal quality of early morning light. This reflective surface becomes a kind of mirror of silence, amplifying the sense of tranquility. The fisherman's line, thin and almost invisible, pierces this stillness, symbolizing the fragile thread of connection between human beings and the hidden mysteries of nature. Surrounding the water, the landscape explodes with an array of greens, from the deep emerald shadows to the almost neon brightness of sunlit leaves. The foliage is painted with bold, textured impasto strokes, creating a tactile sense of life and growth. Sunlight filters through the trees, casting patches of yellow and lime-green light on the ground, producing a play of shadows and illumination that enlivens the scene while maintaining its quiet tone. This dappled light serves as a reminder that even in stillness, the world is alive with subtle movements and rhythms. The figure of the fisherman, dressed in dark tones, provides a striking contrast to the vibrancy of the surrounding landscape. His form is compact, his posture one of patience and immersion in the act of waiting. He does not dominate the scene; rather, he blends into it, becoming almost an extension of the natural environment.
