Oil painting Winter village evening Boris Serdyuk

№AAA3686

"Winter Village Evening" is a textured Oil painting on cardboard that captures the quiet beauty of a snow-covered rural landscape at dusk. The artist uses thick, expressive brushstrokes and a rich impasto technique to create depth and texture, giving the scene a tangible, almost sculptural quality.The foreground is dominated by the snow-covered ground, where patches of earth peek through the thick layers of white. The artist uses a mixture of warm and cool tones to depict the interplay of light and shadow on the uneven surface of the snow. This effect adds movement to the painting, making it feel as if the landscape is alive, shaped by the natural forces of winter.At the center of the composition, traditional village houses with steeply pitched roofs stand nestled among trees. Their roofs are heavy with fresh snow, emphasizing the weight of the season. The wooden walls, painted in dark earthy tones, contrast with the surrounding whiteness, making the structures appear sturdy and resilient against the cold. The artist’s technique captures the rough texture of the wood and the aged, weathered quality of the buildings, adding a sense of authenticity and nostalgia to the scene.To the left of the houses, two haystacks covered in snow stand enclosed by a rustic wooden fence. Their rounded shapes break the angularity of the architecture, bringing balance to the composition. The haystacks, painted with strokes of ochre and brown, add warmth to the predominantly cool palette, reminding the viewer of the village’s agricultural roots and the hard work that sustains it even in the harshest months.The background is dominated by a dense cluster of trees, their bare branches reaching toward the sky. Some of the trees still hold onto the last remnants of autumn, with golden leaves clinging to the branches, providing a striking contrast against the winter landscape. The sky, a deep mixture of blue and gray, suggests the approaching night, while hints of warm tones reflect the last light of the setting sun.Through "Winter Village Evening," the artist conveys a profound sense of peace and stillness. The painting evokes the warmth of home and the resilience of rural life, where nature and tradition exist in harmony. The heavy textures and dynamic brushstrokes reflect the raw beauty of winter, while the choice of color and composition create a mood of quiet contemplation. It is a scene that speaks of simplicity, endurance, and the comforting familiarity of home in the midst of the vast, snowy landscape.
