The painting titled "Night City" captures the quiet atmosphere of an urban neighborhood under the soft glow of moonlight. The focal point of the composition is a large residential building, its windows illuminated by warm yellow and orange lights, creating a striking contrast against the deep blue of the night sky. The building, with its simple, rectangular structure, symbolizes the typical architecture of Soviet-era apartment blocks, evoking a sense of familiarity and nostalgia for many viewers.In the foreground, a black streetlamp stands tall, silhouetted against the brightly lit building. The lamp adds a touch of elegance to the otherwise simple urban landscape, hinting at the charm hidden within everyday city life. The street below is depicted with textured brushstrokes in shades of purple and green, reflecting the dim light from the surrounding buildings. The winding pathway and scattered park benches suggest a quiet residential area where life continues at a slower pace after dusk.The sky above is a rich, dark blue, with hints of purple and gray. The moon, painted as a small glowing orb, peeks through the clouds, casting a soft light over the scene. The scattered clouds create a sense of movement in the sky, adding depth to the composition and enhancing the overall mood of tranquility.The artist uses thick, expressive brushstrokes to add texture and dimension to the painting. The use of contrasting colors — warm yellows and cool blues — creates a dynamic interplay between light and shadow, emphasizing the contrast between the bustling life inside the buildings and the calm stillness of the outside world.Through "Night City," the artist conveys a message about the quiet beauty of urban life after dark. The painting invites the viewer to see the charm in the ordinary, highlighting the peaceful moments that can be found in a bustling city when the noise fades, and the lights take center stage. It evokes a sense of calm and reflection, suggesting that even in the busiest of places, there are pockets of peace and solitude to be found.The painting captures the duality of city life — the warmth and liveliness inside homes and the quiet, reflective mood of the streets outside. "Night City" celebrates the everyday magic of urban landscapes, encouraging viewers to appreciate the beauty of their surroundings, even in the most ordinary settings.

Boris Serdyuk, Night city
Ukraine  • 1960

Presentation

Born in 1960 in Konotop, Sumy Region, Ukraine.

1984 - Graduated from Yuriev-Polsky Pedagogical School (Department of Art and Graphics).

Worked as a drawing and drafting teacher, painting and wood carving instructor, artist-designer.

Held the position of Chief Artist in Konotop.

Since 2000 - Independent artist.

Member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine.

Works by Boris Serdyuk are held in museums in the Sumy and Chernihiv regions, as well as in private collections in Ukraine, European countries, the USA, Israel, and other countries.

In 2018, the artist entered the global art space of the creative platform in New York, where seven of his works were included in the catalog "Painting & Graphics."

Currently lives and works in Kremenchuk, Poltava Region.

Took his first steps in the world of visual arts within the walls of his local school, then studied at Yuriev-Polsky Pedagogical School. After graduation, he returned to his homeland and started working as a drawing and painting teacher.

Later, he realized that for an artist, creative freedom is essential. Thus, after seventeen years of teaching, he left the profession to focus on his creative work. The artist is content to have the opportunity to engage in his beloved craft, which he considers the meaning of his life.

His journey had its ups and downs, victories in competitions, and recognition from admirers, yet he never ceased his determined quest for his artistic path. In ancient times, "serdyuk" referred to professional infantrymen in the Cossack ranks. This heritage likely passed down not only the surname but also many Cossack traits to the artist, including hard work, modesty, and human dignity.

Boris Serdyuk creates in genres such as portrait, landscape, and thematic composition. His works are varied, reflecting the artist's impressions of the places he visited. Among them are picturesque corners of Kremenchuk and Dnipro views, urban and maritime landscapes, the grandeur of the Carpathian Mountains, and cozy Ukrainian villages. His canvases are intriguing in terms of color and relatively compositionally perfect, revealing the life of nature at the time of their execution.

There are also commissioned portraits and paintings, such as "Shevchenko in Baturyn." He spent over a year working on it, studying the architecture of the former hetman capital. However, the artist prefers to work swiftly, capturing the vision of a painting before it fades from his mind and before the sun changes its angle and shadows. On average, according to the artist, he spends about 40 minutes on a single landscape.

Boris successfully combines a poetic perception of the world and a deep understanding of nature with brilliant artistic execution. His paintings exude a special light and a delicate sense of nature – vivid colors on the canvas resonate with intermediate tones. The artist has abandoned contours, replacing them with separate and contrasting brushstrokes; his paintings amaze with colors, not only their diversity but also the amount of substance applied to the canvas – vibrant, vivid, voluminous.

Describing the master's works is a challenging task. Boris Serdyuk's works are special – they are painted with soul. One must see and feel the wonderful harmony of nature on the artist's canvases firsthand and touch the great mystery of Art.
