Title: Oil painting Horses grazing peacefully Boris Serdyuk Description: NoAAA5467The Oil painting on Cardboard titled "Horses grazing peacefully" evokes a serene pastoral moment where nature and animal life merge into a quiet symphony of color and texture. Executed with thick, expressive strokes of oil, the work captures two horses grazing calmly in an open meadow, their dark, earthy forms contrasting beautifully with the lush, vibrant greens and muted purples of the landscape. The cardboard surface enhances the tactile intensity of the paint application, creating a raw, almost organic quality that reflects the subjects harmony with the natural world. At the heart of the painting are the two horses, positioned side by side, their heads bowed to the ground as they graze. Painted in deep tones of chestnut and umber, with accents of violet and black, their muscular bodies are sculpted by bold, sweeping strokes that emphasize both strength and grace. They are depicted without adornment, a reminder of their simplicity and dignity, their quiet presence radiating a sense of peace. Their posture, mirrored yet individual, suggests companionship and the natural rhythm of coexistence. The meadow beneath them is alive with color, depicted through vigorous strokes of green, yellow, and hints of turquoise, layered to create a dense and dynamic surface. The brushwork conveys not only the lushness of the grass but also its movement, as if stirred by a gentle breeze. Highlights of luminous green glow against the darker shades, suggesting patches of light filtering through the clouded sky. This play of color infuses the ground with energy, while simultaneously supporting the calm demeanor of the grazing horses. Above them, the sky dominates the upper half of the painting, rendered in sweeping strokes of lavender, gray, and pale cream. The thick application of paint creates a turbulent, textured sky, where clouds gather in layers of muted tones. Yet, from behind the clouds, a faint, glowing circle-the suggestion of the moon or a filtered sun-casts its subdued light over the scene. This delicate illumination softens the atmosphere, bathing the horses and meadow in a quiet radiance that enhances the sense of stillness. The sky, though heavy with clouds, is not oppressive but contemplative, echoing the tranquility below.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Horses grazing peacefully"* ARTISTS: Boris Serdyuk* SIZE: 17.5x25.2 cm/6.88x9.92 inches'* MEDIUM: oil, cardboard* 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 artists: Serdyuk Boris Petrovich was born on June 30, 1960 in the city of Konotop Sumy region.
