The painting titled "News Between People" captures a lively rural scene, depicting a casual social interaction between villagers gathered near a well. The artist beautifully portrays the spirit of community life, where exchanging news and stories is a natural part of daily routines. The composition, with its vibrant colors and dynamic brushstrokes, brings the simple joys of rural life to the forefront, emphasizing human connection and the timeless tradition of storytelling. The foreground features a small well with a wooden roof, a central element of the scene. The well is painted in earthy tones of brown and beige, with thick, expressive brushstrokes adding texture and depth. The roof structure shows signs of wear, suggesting it is a well-used and familiar gathering spot for the villagers. Next to the well, two women are depicted in conversation. One woman is dressed in a red-orange shawl, while the other wears a bright blue and green outfit with a yellow headscarf, adding vibrant splashes of color to the scene.
The women are engaged in a lively discussion, their postures suggesting familiarity and ease. Their interaction evokes a sense of warmth, community, and the shared experiences of rural life. The middle ground is dominated by grassy fields and paths leading to the houses in the background. The grass is painted in various shades of green, with hints of pink and yellow, giving the landscape a lush and fertile appearance. The winding paths, painted in soft pastel tones, guide the viewer's eye toward the village houses, creating a sense of depth and movement in the painting. Scattered across the field are small patches of wildflowers and vegetation, painted with quick, textured brushstrokes that add vibrancy and richness to the landscape. In the background, traditional village houses with thatched roofs are nestled among trees and foliage. The houses are painted in shades of blue, grey, and brown, with hints of orange and red, adding contrast to the green landscape.
The variety of colors in the houses suggests a lively, diverse village community. Tall trees with dark green and brown foliage frame the houses, adding structure and balance to the composition. The trees are painted with loose, expressive brushstrokes, giving them a natural, organic feel. Above the village, the sky is painted in soft pastel tones of lavender, grey, and light pink, suggesting a calm, overcast day or the early morning light. The subtle sky tones create a serene, peaceful atmosphere that complements the lively interaction in the foreground. "News Between People" evokes a sense of community, warmth, and tradition. The painting captures a moment of human connection, emphasizing the importance of social interaction in rural life. The scene reminds the viewer of the timeless ritual of gathering to exchange news, share stories, and strengthen bonds within a community.

Presentation
Oksana Antonivna Ivanyuk is an outstanding artist from Poltava, Ukraine, born on November 9, 1964, in the village of Zorya, Rivne region. Her talent and love for art manifested from a young age, and she decided to dedicate her life to creating marvelous paintings.
Oksana Antonivna obtained a higher education at the N. Samokish Crimean Art School, where she was mentored by eminent artists H. Kurylenko and V. Hryhoriyev. After completing her studies, she actively developed her talents in the field of painting, focusing on realistic-style landscapes and still lifes.
From 1989 to 2008, Oksana worked as an art teacher at the Pyriatyn School-Gymnasium of Aesthetic Education in Poltava Oblast, where she imparted her knowledge to her students and instilled in them a love for art.
As an active member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine since 2010, Oksana participated in various exhibitions, both at the national and international levels, earning recognition for her talent and mastery.
Oksana Ivanyuk held solo exhibitions in Kyiv, Lubny (Poltava Oblast), Pryluky (Chernihiv Oblast), and Poltava, where she showcased her profound and emotional works. Among them are "The Last Snow. March" (2002), "Flood" (2005), "Silence" (2006), "The Last Ray," "Christmas Cathedral" (2008), "Autumn," "Kalyna on the Table" (2010). Her artworks can also be found in the National Art Museum and the Museum of Cultural Heritage in Kyiv.
Residing and working in Poltava, Oksana Ivanyuk embodied her artistic ideas in striking canvases that convey her inner awakenings, feelings, and emotions. Her art always captivates and leaves a sense of profound harmony with nature and the surrounding world.
After graduating from the N. Samokish Crimean Art School, the elder generation of Ivanyuks, Oleksiy and Oksana, founded their own art school in Pyriatyn, a small town in Poltava Oblast, which they supported financially for over a decade. Growing up under the influence of classical art, the couple favored working from nature, depicting classical still life and monumental canvases, with the secret of their compositional and dramatic strength lying in the use of naturism as their core philosophical concept.
In Oleksiy Ivanyuk's Poltava landscapes, there is a greatness in simplicity, a view of ordinary suburban landscapes as wonders that are no longer accessible to the average resident of a metropolis. Fauvist colors and impasto techniques are applied by the master to enhance expressiveness, while thick brushstrokes emphasize the form and relief of the depicted objects. Familiar places, houses immersed in green gardens, boundless steppes, fields, forest glades, and streets become lyrical abstractions and reach the level of aesthetic reflection, reflecting the author's sensory perception of the world.
In Oksana Ivanyuk's vibrant floral still lifes, baroque polyphony is embodied, which is why seemingly secondary elements become the main elements of the composition. Her lush bouquets are universal floral images of binary culture, with a variety of meanings that correspond to the main higher needs of existence. For Oksana Ivanyuk, reproducing flowers is always a display of personal experiences, a demonstration of her own attitude towards life situations, and the image itself becomes a symbol of beauty and harmony.
Both artists, Oleksiy and Oksana, have a unique approach to their craft, infusing their works with emotions, insights, and reflections on the world around them. Their dedication to preserving and promoting art is evident through their art school, where they pass on their knowledge and passion to the next generation of aspiring artists. Their creative endeavors continue to leave a lasting impact on the art world, inspiring viewers and fellow artists alike with their powerful and evocative works.
