Oil painting Through the city park Oleksiy Ivanyuk

№AAA3860

This oil painting cardboard, titled "Through the city park", the artist employs a rich impasto technique, layering thick, expressive brushstrokes to create a dynamic and textured surface that enhances the sense of movement and atmosphere within the scene. The composition draws the viewer into a lively park pathway, framed by lush trees and dappled sunlight, leading towards a radiant cityscape in the background. The foreground is painted in soft pastel hues of lavender, pink, and light blue, suggesting a sunlit path made of stone or pavement. The loose, energetic brushstrokes give the impression of shifting light and shadows cast by the surrounding trees. Small human figures, depicted with minimal yet expressive strokes, add life to the scene, capturing the essence of a leisurely stroll through the park. Some figures appear to be walking, while others are sitting or pausing to enjoy the surroundings. Flanking the pathway, tall trees with rich green foliage arch overhead, forming a natural canopy. The artist uses a mix of deep emerald, bright lime, and touches of warm orange to depict the interplay of sunlight filtering through the leaves. The thick, swirling application of paint gives the trees a lively, almost pulsating quality, as if they are swaying gently in the breeze. Their trunks, painted in a combination of warm ochre and hints of blue, provide a strong structural contrast to the fluidity of the foliage. In the background, a grand, sunlit building emerges from the park’s depth, glowing in warm shades of yellow, gold, and orange. The artist’s impressionistic approach renders the building slightly blurred, enhancing its dreamlike quality as if bathed in the soft, golden glow of late afternoon or early evening light. The distant structures contrast with the cool, shadowed foreground, creating a sense of depth and perspective that draws the viewer further into the painting. The painting invites the viewer to experience the gentle pace of a park walk, feel the sun’s warmth on their skin, and embrace the peaceful, fleeting moments of everyday life in a vibrant, bustling city.
