"It's Getting Dark in the Field" is a textured Oil painting on cardboard that captures the fleeting moment of twilight as day transitions into night over a vast countryside. The painting is rich with expressive brushstrokes and a vibrant yet moody color palette that conveys the quiet serenity of the rural landscape.In the foreground, a rustic wooden fence runs horizontally across the composition. Painted in deep blues and purples, the fence appears slightly weathered, suggesting the passage of time and the endurance of rural life. The ground beneath the fence is a mixture of green, purple, and earthy tones, creating a sense of movement and depth. The uneven, expressive strokes give the impression of a well-trodden path leading further into the field.Beyond the fence, the landscape stretches toward the horizon, where clusters of trees stand silhouetted against the fading light. The artist uses a combination of greens, yellows, and hints of pink to depict the interplay of the remaining daylight and the approaching darkness. The sky is an ethereal mix of soft blues, yellows, and golden streaks, suggesting the last glow of the sun before night fully takes over. The gentle diffusion of color creates an atmosphere of calm and contemplation.The painting's thick, impasto technique enhances the textural depth of the scene, making the landscape feel tangible and alive. The choice of color—particularly the contrast between warm yellows in the sky and cool purples in the foreground—conveys a sense of transition and movement, as if the viewer is witnessing the very moment the daylight slips away.With "It's Getting Dark in the Field," the artist seeks to capture the peaceful solitude of rural life at dusk. The painting evokes a sense of nostalgia and reflection, reminding the viewer of the natural rhythm of the countryside, where the setting sun signals the end of the day's labor and the arrival of quiet rest. It is a tribute to the simple beauty of nature, the ever-changing sky, and the deep connection between humans and the land they cultivate.Ultimately, this work invites the viewer to pause, breathe, and appreciate the profound stillness that comes as night settles over the fields—a moment of peace that is both fleeting and eternal.

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.
