Oil painting A pink sunset is visible Oksana Ivanyuk

№AAA4020

This oil painting cardboard, titled "A pink sunset is visible", the artist uses a vibrant palette and dynamic brushstrokes to create an atmosphere of tranquility and fleeting beauty as the day transitions into night. The sky dominates the upper portion of the composition, filled with swirling shades of pink, lavender, and hints of blue, forming a soft yet striking contrast against the darker tones of the landscape. The clouds appear illuminated by the fading sunlight, stretching across the sky in fluid, expressive strokes, enhancing the sense of movement and depth. Below the sky, a rural village unfolds, its houses nestled among tall trees and rolling fields. The rooftops and walls of the buildings are tinged with warm orange and red highlights, reflecting the last light of the setting sun. The artist captures the essence of a quiet countryside, where the warmth of home contrasts with the cool tones of the approaching night. The trees surrounding the village are painted in deep blues and blacks, creating a sense of depth and shadow. The thick impasto technique used for the foliage adds texture and dimension, making the trees stand out against the luminous sky. Some trees appear almost silhouetted, emphasizing the contrast between light and dark. The foreground consists of an open field, depicted with loose, textured brushstrokes in earthy greens, browns, and hints of blue. The uneven terrain suggests the presence of small hills or meadows, leading the viewer’s eye toward the village in the background. A lone utility pole stands tall in the center, its presence subtly hinting at the connection between nature and human habitation. The interplay of warm and cool colors throughout the painting creates a captivating balance, reinforcing the contrast between the illuminated sky and the darkening landscape. The artist's expressive technique allows the viewer to feel the shifting atmosphere, as if standing in the moment just before twilight fully takes over. This painting beautifully conveys the fleeting magic of sunset, where light and shadow dance across the land, creating an evocative and emotional scene. The bold color choices and dynamic textures enhance the overall mood, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in the quiet beauty of the countryside as the pink hues of dusk gradually fade into the approaching night.
