Title: Oil painting Tree near the river Boris Serdyuk Description: NoAAA5751The Oil painting Cardboard titled "Tree near the river" is a powerful and intimate depiction of nature, capturing both its stillness and its vitality through rich textures and expressive brushwork. The artist presents a close view of a single, robust tree standing on the riverbank, its gnarled trunk and wide branches dominating the composition. This central figure radiates presence and stability, embodying both age and resilience, while the surrounding landscape breathes life into the atmosphere with luminous greens, yellows, and blues. The trunk of the tree, painted with thick, layered strokes of dark brown, deep purple, and muted beige, conveys a strong sense of solidity and timelessness. The textured application of paint emphasizes the roughness of the bark, allowing the viewer to almost feel its surface under their fingertips. Subtle highlights of pale pink, ivory, and light ochre break across the surface, suggesting the way sunlight filters through the dense foliage above and falls unevenly on the bark. The twisted form of the trunk and its sprawling roots anchor the composition, making the tree both the subject and symbol of natural endurance. Surrounding the base of the tree, a carpet of wild grasses and low plants spreads across the canvas. The artist has employed bold impasto strokes in shades of yellow, gold, and green, creating a thick, textured ground that shimmers as if lit by afternoon sunlight. The brushwork here is lively and energetic, conveying the movement of leaves and grasses stirred by the breeze. The variety of tones-from bright lemon-yellow to deep moss green-evokes the richness of the riverside vegetation, highlighting the diversity of nature's palette in this small yet vibrant corner of the landscape. The background reveals the gentle presence of the river, rendered in cooler hues of muted blues, greens, and earthy browns. The artist has softened the brushstrokes in this area, allowing the surface of the water to appear calm and reflective. Glimpses of the surrounding greenery and sky ripple faintly across the water's surface, suggesting reflections distorted by movement and light. The subtle shimmer of the river contrasts beautifully with the dense, heavy texture of the tree and foliage, creating a balance between solidity and fluidity.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Tree near the river"* ARTISTS: Boris Serdyuk* SIZE: 20x29.8 cm/7.87x11.73 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.
