Oil painting City yellow sunset Oleksiy Ivanyuk

№AAA4059

This oil painting cardboard, titled "City yellow sunset", the composition is bathed in a golden hue, emphasizing the dramatic glow of the setting sun as it reflects off the buildings and trees. The artist employs thick, impasto brushstrokes that bring texture and movement to the scene, making the colors vibrate with intensity. The background features an abstracted city skyline, where domed structures and spires rise against a luminous yellow sky. These architectural elements are painted in deep purples and blues, contrasting with the warm glow above. The skyline appears slightly softened, as though seen through the haze of a late afternoon sun, giving the scene a dreamy, impressionistic quality. In the middle ground, trees with autumnal foliage in shades of burnt orange, crimson, and earthy browns create a natural barrier between the city and the foreground. The foliage is depicted with expressive strokes, giving the impression of leaves rustling in the evening breeze. Small hints of red and white emerge among the trees, possibly indicating figures or city elements subtly blending into the environment. The foreground is a lively mixture of cool greens, warm golds, and deep shadows, suggesting a park or a natural setting within the city. The thick application of paint adds a sense of depth and dimension, making the landscape feel rich and textured. The contrast between warm and cool tones enhances the play of light and shadow, reinforcing the painting’s dynamic energy. The sky, a crucial element of the composition, is painted in swirling strokes of yellow, pale green, and hints of blue, reflecting the last light of the day. The clouds appear almost molten, stretching across the sky in bold, fluid gestures that mimic the movement of the wind. The interplay of colors in the sky gives a sense of fleeting beauty, capturing the exact moment before dusk fully sets in. This painting exudes warmth and nostalgia, evoking the serene yet vibrant atmosphere of a city at sunset. The artist’s use of thick, energetic brushwork and bold color contrasts creates a sense of movement, making the viewer feel as if they are standing in the midst of this scene, experiencing the golden glow firsthand. The piece beautifully balances abstraction and realism, allowing for both an emotional and visual impact that lingers in the mind long after viewing.
