Title: Oil painting Silver evening in the field Alex Kalenyuk Description: No.AAA5059The oil painting on Cardboard titled "Silver Evening in the Field" radiates with vibrant energy and abstract expressionism, immersing the viewer in a surreal landscape where emotion takes precedence over realism. Dominated by dynamic brushstrokes and a rich impasto technique, this painting evokes the intensity of a moment suspended between twilight and nightfall, when nature reveals its most vivid contrasts. At the heart of the composition stand four jagged, snow-capped peaks, painted in thick layers of silver, lavender, and soft white. These mountains surge skyward from a foundation of vibrant earth tones, as if catching the last glimmers of evening light. The peaks are rendered with aggressive palette knife strokes, giving them both texture and movement. The sky above is anything but static—it’s an electrifying canvas of emerald green, royal purple, and bursts of fuchsia and turquoise. Swirling clouds drift across this surreal backdrop in unexpected hues, hinting at an imaginative world where colors transcend conventional boundaries. This sky doesn’t just frame the mountains; it battles them for dominance, saturating the upper portion of the painting with drama and mystery. The boldness of the sky contributes to the work’s fantastical atmosphere, where the rules of light and color are rewritten in favor of emotional impact. Below, the rolling hills and field stretch outward in a tapestry of olive green, burnt orange, deep blue, and crimson. This patchwork ground is a flurry of color and movement—plants, shadows, and light merge into rhythmic patterns rather than distinct forms. There is no singular horizon line. Instead, land and mountain blend seamlessly, as if the landscape is being seen through a dream. The field becomes a vibrant, living organism pulsing with life, energized by the play of contrasting tones and sculpted color. The brushwork throughout is fearless—loaded with thick, expressive applications of paint. Each stroke carries weight, creating a tactile surface that invites close inspection. The viewer can sense the artist’s hand in every motion: rapid, impulsive, confident. This physicality brings the scene to life in a sensory way that’s more visceral than photographic.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Silver evening in the field"* ARTISTS: Alex Kalenyuk* SIZE: 15x20 cm/'5.90x7.87 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: Born March 13, 1954, in the city of Piryatin, Poltava region.
