Oil painting Yellow sunset over the village Oksana Ivanyuk

№AAA4467

The painting "Yellow Sunset Over the Village" is a vivid expression of color and movement, capturing a rural landscape bathed in the surreal glow of an intense sunset. The artist employs thick, impasto strokes of oil paint to build a rich, textured surface that brings the scene to life, immersing the viewer in an almost dreamlike moment of transition between day and night. The background is dominated by a striking yellow sky, an unusual and captivating choice that infuses the painting with warmth and intensity. The sky is not merely a passive backdrop but an active element, with swirling brushstrokes suggesting the last remnants of daylight stretching across the horizon. The setting sun, painted in a rich orange hue, burns like a glowing ember, casting a golden aura over the entire landscape. There is a sense of motion in the sky, as if the air itself is charged with energy, and the atmosphere is alive with the fading heat of the day. Nestled within this landscape are the dark silhouettes of village houses, their rooftops catching the last rays of the sun in strokes of fiery red and orange. The houses seem almost abstract, their forms broken and distorted by the energetic application of paint. They appear to blend into the land itself, as if molded by the forces of nature rather than built by human hands. The village exudes a sense of solitude and timelessness, a place seemingly suspended between the real and the imagined. Towering above the village are spindly trees and utility poles, their elongated forms stretching toward the sky like silent witnesses to the fading day. Their dark outlines provide a sense of structure amidst the expressive chaos of color, acting as a bridge between the radiant sky and the shadowed ground. The trees, with their jagged branches, seem to sway with the movement of the brushstrokes, adding to the painting’s dynamic energy. Despite the bold, almost otherworldly use of color, the scene feels deeply familiar, evoking the quiet beauty of a rural evening. There is a poetic balance between warmth and coolness, light and shadow, order and abstraction. The texture of the impasto technique enhances the depth of the painting, making the viewer feel as if they could reach out and touch the thick layers of paint, tracing the movement of the artist’s hand.
