Oil painting There is a village under the mountain Oleksiy Ivanyuk

№AAA3962

This oil painting cardboard, titled "There is a village under the mountain", the artist employs an expressive impasto technique, layering thick, textured strokes to create depth and movement. The composition is rich with warm earthy tones, vibrant greens, and a brilliant blue sky, evoking a sense of serenity and timelessness. The foreground is dominated by rustic, golden-hued terrain, painted with bold, rough strokes that suggest dry grass, soil, and small pathways winding through the landscape. The texture of the brushstrokes gives the impression of rugged, uneven land, shaped by the elements and human activity. Hints of red and orange add warmth to the earthy palette, enhancing the feeling of a sunlit countryside. The thick paint application gives the building a tactile presence, making it blend naturally with its surroundings while still drawing the eye. The structure is simple yet inviting, suggesting a peaceful rural dwelling nestled within the lush greenery. The warm, muted tones of the house contrast beautifully with the cool greens of the surrounding vegetation. In the middle ground, a dense cluster of trees and bushes fills the scene with vibrant shades of green. The artist uses a mix of deep blues, bright yellows, and earthy greens to depict the foliage, creating a rich interplay of light and shadow. The expressive brushstrokes give the trees a sense of movement, as if they are swaying gently in the breeze. Small, scattered red strokes hint at flowers, fruit, or distant rooftops peeking through the foliage. The background is dominated by a grand mountain rising above the village. Painted in a mix of warm browns, purples, and blues, the mountain appears sunlit, its slopes dappled with light and shadow. The texture of the paint enhances the ruggedness of the terrain, making it feel imposing yet harmonious with the scene below. Small houses are nestled into the mountainside, blending naturally with the environment, emphasizing the coexistence of human habitation and nature. Above, the sky is a brilliant shade of blue, painted with smooth yet textured strokes that contrast with the rougher brushwork of the landscape. Wisps of white clouds float across the sky, adding softness and depth to the scene.
