Description: №AAA3266 The painting "Before the Storm" is a dramatic oil on canvas piece that captures the tense and anticipatory atmosphere just before a storm, using vivid colors and expressive brushstrokes. The artist employs a dark and moody color palette dominated by deep greens, browns, and blacks, with bright accents of yellow, blue, and purple. The technique is characterized by thick, textured brushstrokes typical of the impasto style, which create a sense of depth and intensity. The layering of paint adds a tactile quality to the scene, emphasizing the roughness of the landscape and the turbulence of the impending storm. The composition centers on a rustic rural scene with houses nestled among dense vegetation. The houses, with their thatched roofs and simple structures, are surrounded by dark, swirling greenery, which seems to be alive with movement as the storm approaches. The houses are painted with earthy tones of brown and beige, with their thatched roofs rendered in thick, expressive strokes. The windows and doors are suggested with dark spots, adding to the rustic and somewhat ominous feel. The surrounding vegetation is depicted with a mix of dark and bright colors, reflecting the turbulent atmosphere. The trees and plants are rendered in various shades of green, with highlights of yellow and blue, capturing the flickering light as the storm gathers. The sky is a swirling mass of dark, stormy colors, primarily deep blues and blacks, adding to the sense of impending doom. The background is a blend of these dark tones, creating a stark contrast with the lighter, more vibrant colors of the vegetation and houses. The overall mood of the painting is one of tension and anticipation. The dark, swirling colors and thick, expressive brushstrokes convey the power and unpredictability of nature. The bright highlights amidst the dark tones suggest brief moments of light before the storm engulfs the scene. "Before the Storm" can be interpreted as a portrayal of nature's raw power and the fragile existence of human settlements in its path. The painting captures the moment of calm before the chaos, highlighting the contrast between the sturdy, enduring houses and the wild, untamed forces of nature. The vibrant colors amidst the darkness suggest resilience and hope, even in the face of impending disaster. This painting masterfully uses color and texture to create a vivid and emotionally charged depiction of a rural scene on the brink of a storm, inviting viewers to feel the tension and beauty of this dramatic moment in nature. *** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Before the storm"* ARTISTS: Oksana Kalenyuk* SIZE: 15x20 cm/'5.90x7.87 inches'* MEDIUM: oil, canvas* HAND PAINTED: Original painting from our collection* CONDITION: we tried to convey the maximum information with the help of photos about this product About the artists: Kalenyuk Oksana was born in 1964 in Rivne region.
