Title: Oil painting Bells over the river Yuriy Suprunchuk

Description: NoAAA4985

The oil painting on Cardboard titled "Bells over the river" captures a romantic and sun-drenched cityscape that feels both timeless and dreamlike. Set in what evokes the ambiance of Venice or another historic European city built on water, this composition radiates the harmonious charm of human architecture, nature, and light. Dominating the right side of the canvas are majestic domes and bell towers, softly rendered in pastel yellows, golds, and creams, crowned with hints of lavender and rose. These architectural elements, although stylized and impressionistic, carry a strong sense of presence. Their curved silhouettes rise into a sky filled with swirling strokes of blue and soft lilac clouds, suggesting a clear afternoon in late spring or summer. The sun seems to wash over the stone facades, bathing the buildings in warm light that glows and reflects vibrantly in the rippling canal below. The water, a key element in this work, stretches across the foreground in tones of emerald, turquoise, violet, and gold. It acts as a liquid mirror, reflecting both the buildings and the sky in a shimmering, diffused rhythm. The reflections are not precise but painterly, rippling with movement and color. This sense of gentle motion enlivens the scene and transports the viewer to a world where time slows and observation deepens. On the left side of the painting, a curved stone staircase descends elegantly from a shaded terrace into the water. The steps are painted in shades of dusty white and lilac-grey, slightly worn and softened by time. A small figure, dressed in red and seated near a moored gondola or boat, brings a sense of life and intimacy to the composition. This subtle human presence emphasizes the peaceful coexistence of daily routine and grand architectural beauty. Framing this stairway is a cluster of trees painted with loose, energetic strokes. The foliage, rendered in rich olive greens and amber tones, contrasts beautifully with the architectural brightness. It provides a natural canopy and balance to the geometric forms of the city, as well as a symbolic link between the organic world and human creation.
