Title: Oil painting The temple by the river Boris Serdyuk Description: No.AAA5328The oil painting on Cardboard titled "The Temple by the River" captures a luminous and almost dreamlike landscape, where color and emotion merge to evoke a moment suspended between reality and reverie. The composition draws the viewer into a vivid world where a river, temple, and natural surroundings are woven together through expressive brushwork and radiant hues. This is not merely a depiction of place, but a celebration of atmosphere and spiritual presence. At the heart of the composition lies a river bathed in twilight tones of pink, lavender, and pale violet. The water’s surface is rendered with bold horizontal strokes, creating a smooth yet undulating reflection of the sky and surrounding foliage. The river serves as both a physical and symbolic channel—calm, deep, and quietly leading the viewer’s eye toward the distant golden temple nestled among the trees. The temple itself, while small in scale compared to the vast landscape, becomes the focal point through its luminous golden color. It glows like a beacon of peace and sacredness, its silhouette softened by distance and atmosphere. The golden spires seem to rise out of the purple forest like a spiritual offering, reflecting subtly in the water below. The painter's use of yellows, gently melting into the cool purples and blues, creates a contrast that speaks of the divine quietly embedded in the everyday world. Surrounding the temple, the trees are painted in deep purples, blues, and crimsons, creating a sense of a forest caught between sunset and nightfall. The sky above mirrors this transition—a gradient of creamy pink, warm peach, and pale gold, gradually surrendering to twilight. The sweeping strokes used for the sky emphasize motion and softness, suggesting the gentle passage of time and the fading light of day. In the foreground, thick, impasto layers of paint create lush vegetation in fiery reds, deep emeralds, and bright spring greens. The brushwork here is more aggressive and dynamic, conveying the raw energy of nature in contrast to the serenity of the river and the temple. This juxtaposition between the wildness of the near and the tranquility of the distant allows the viewer to feel both grounded and transported.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "The temple by the river"* ARTISTS: Boris Serdyuk* SIZE: 20.5x24.2 cm/8.07x9.52 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.
