Title: Oil painting Old city building with stairs Yuriy Suprunchuk Description: NoAAA5489The Oil painting on Cardboard titled "Old city building with stairs" captures a moment of quiet urban charm where architecture, nature, and human presence blend harmoniously. The composition is dominated by the fa?ade of an old city structure with its warm walls and red-tiled rooftops, details that immediately evoke the history and enduring character of European or Mediterranean towns. The artist paints with an expressive palette, bringing together vibrant colors, bold brushstrokes, and subtle tonal contrasts that convey both the solidity of the buildings and the liveliness of the life surrounding them. The central focus of the painting is the staircase, rendered with layered strokes of pale greys, purples, and hints of green, its steps worn smooth as though countless feet have passed over them through time. The staircase rises from the cobblestone street below, anchoring the viewer's eye and guiding it upward toward the sunlit walls of the building. The stairs themselves are more than just architectural detail-they act as a symbolic bridge between the bustling street life and the quiet intimacy of the home above, a visual metaphor for passage and transition. The building at the top of the stairs is infused with golden-yellow tones that glow against the deep cobalt blue of the sky. The red-tiled roofs catch the sunlight with a brilliance that contrasts against the cooler blue and green hues of the windows and surrounding vegetation. Shadows soften the geometry of the structure, giving it depth and texture, while suggesting the slow march of time across its fa?ade. To the right, tall cypress-like trees stretch upward, their deep greens punctuated by lighter touches that capture the flicker of light through their leaves. These vertical elements add rhythm to the composition, balancing the horizontal sweep of rooftops and sky. At the foot of the stairs, human figures bring warmth and narrative. A woman dressed in a flowing red garment descends gracefully, her presence both striking and harmonious within the palette of the painting. Her motion suggests a sense of timeless ritual, as if echoing the countless generations who may have walked these same steps. To the left, another pair-perhaps a mother and child-adds an element of storytelling, grounding the architectural setting in lived human experience. Their smaller scale compared to the grandeur of the stairs emphasizes the enduring weight of history and place in contrast to the fleeting presence of individuals.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Old city building with stairs"* ARTISTS: Yuriy Suprunchuk* SIZE: 29.8x39.8 cm/11.73x15.66 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 artist: Zhitomir artist Suprunchuk Yuri Sergeevich Born on April 11, 1961, in the city of Zhitomir.
