"The Bass Tract" is an enchanting oil painting that captures the serene beauty of a landscape. In this captivating artwork, the viewer is transported to a tranquil scene where nature reigns supreme. The composition is dominated by a harmonious balance between the foreground, middle ground, and background elements, each contributing to the overall atmosphere. In the foreground, a winding path beckons the viewer to embark on a journey of exploration. Lined with vibrant wildflowers, their petals burst forth in an array of colors, injecting a sense of liveliness into the scene. The path, created with deliberate brushstrokes, meanders gently towards the horizon, inviting the observer to venture further into the painting. Running alongside the path, a gentle river flows gracefully, reflecting the surrounding landscape like a shimmering mirror. Its surface glints with soft ripples, creating a mesmerizing play of light and shadow. The river adds a sense of movement and tranquility, offering a source of life and energy to the surrounding flora. As the viewer's gaze shifts towards the background, a dense forest emerges, creating a tapestry of lush greenery. Towering trees, their branches intertwined, stand tall and majestic, casting dappled shadows onto the forest floor. The artist skillfully captures the intricacies of the foliage, using delicate brushwork to portray the verdant beauty of nature. Above the landscape, a sky of muted gray and blue hues extends, setting a tranquil and slightly overcast ambiance. The clouds appear to dance across the sky, lending a sense of depth and atmosphere to the painting. This subdued palette evokes a calm and introspective mood, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in the natural serenity of the scene. "The Bass Tract" is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the essence of a peaceful landscape. Through masterful brushwork, vibrant colors, and careful attention to detail, the painting transports the viewer into a world where the beauty of nature unfolds at every turn. Whether admiring the delicate wildflowers, following the path towards the distant forest, or contemplating the serene river, this artwork invites contemplation and serves as a visual escape into the enchanting realm of nature.

There is a world that shapes us, and there is another world - the world of the poetic soul of an artist, which is reproduced on their canvases. From the touch of a brush and colors, a painting is born - a landscape filled with the rustle of autumn leaves underfoot or the intoxicating spring green, sorrow or joy. Thus, the artist paints different compositions, subjects, and themes, but each painting represents their inner world, which we are destined to gaze upon throughout our lives.
Ivan Shapoval is an artist with a poetic vision and perception of the world. His philosophy revolves around the pursuit and depiction of beauty and harmony between humans and nature. Even in the urban space of rigid and straight lines and forms of the cityscape, the world of nature is incorporated. The artist's paintings are always associated with the seasons, and their alternation is palpable in his picturesque palette. In the wintry medley of city walls and roofs, the outlines of a church and bell tower resonate in a special way, stretching towards the boundless blue sky, like echoes of eternal existence.
In his paintings, we witness the passage of spring, followed by summer, and after autumn comes winter, adorned in snow. Winter, with its three-pronged snow, conceals all the flaws of the city and brings warmth and enchantment. Yet, it is always a reality that takes on different shades - be it wintery, spring-like, summery, or autumnal.
Unlike many artists, Ivan Shapoval adheres to his style, which was formed in the context of "severe realism" that gradually, starting from the late 1980s, acquires a noticeable lyrical and poetic hue.
In recent years, the artist, through vivid decorativeness, seeks to showcase not only the external beauty but also the profound meaning of nature's beauty. The combination of realism and decorativeness defines the creative style of the artist and the diverse themes of his works. However, landscape remains the main genre, and nature remains one of the artist's main sources of creative inspiration, where beauty exists as something absolute and eternal.
Ivan Shapoval's works are characterized by a subtle correlation of colors in landscapes. The artist successfully expresses the freshness of spring air, the translucent clouds melting in the sky. Lately, his images have acquired a stereo effect. The moods of nature are embodied with excessive vividness and a poetic spirit.
Ivan Shapoval dedicated almost 70 years of his life to painting. He showcased over 30 of his works in the art salon, mainly featuring landscapes of Sumy region. He chose them based on the principle of "where brighter and more beautiful," aiming to infuse his creations with soul. He captured beautiful landscapes and painted large canvases in his studios.
His landscape lyricism is more akin to the style of still life. His intriguing still life pieces truly impress.
