Title: Oil painting Evening light in the fields Alex Kalenyuk Description: NoAAA5255The oil painting on Canvas titled "Evening light in the fields" radiates a sense of luminous calm and pastoral tranquility, inviting the viewer into a moment suspended between the sky and the earth. Rendered in bold, impasto strokes and a vibrant palette, this work evokes the quiet presence of nature and rural life at its most poetic-where haystacks become monuments under the boundless dome of daylight. Dominating the foreground are two monumental haystacks, their rounded, voluminous forms composed of rich ochres, siennas, and bursts of burnt orange. These organic structures are sculpted with expressive layers of paint, giving them both solidity and movement, as though they are breathing under the warmth of the sun. Their presence is earthy and timeless, symbolic of the cyclical harmony between human labor and the natural world. The haystacks do not merely sit in the landscape-they define it, anchoring the composition with weight and form. Surrounding the haystacks is a swirling sea of green and blue-suggestive of fields both harvested and wild, where order and chaos coexist. The brushwork here is vigorous yet fluid, implying the textures of grass, patches of shadow, and perhaps the gentle wind rustling through the pasture. This mosaic of hues and strokes captures the richness of rural life without resorting to realism; instead, it abstracts and amplifies emotion, creating a dreamlike sense of place. The sky is a masterpiece of atmospheric expression. A brilliant, expansive turquoise washes across the canvas, merging with delicate purples and pinks that drift like wisps of cloud along the horizon. High above, a singular yellow orb-sun or moon-glows with a surreal intensity, its form almost childlike in its purity. Yellow ribbons of light curl across the sky like thoughts or songs, softening the transition between land and sky and lending the painting a lyrical, almost magical quality. Hills or distant rooftops rise in abstracted forms along the horizon line, blending seamlessly with the sky in lavender and soft grey tones. These structures are merely hinted at, melting into the background like the soft edges of memory. Their minimal presence allows the viewer to focus on the immediate and tactile, on the hay, the sky, the earth-and the experience of being beneath it all.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Evening light in the fields"* ARTISTS: Alex Kalenyuk* SIZE: 15x20 cm/5.90x7.87 inches'* MEDIUM: oil, canvas* 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.
