The painting titled "Edge of the Village" captures a charming rural scene, depicting the outskirts of a quiet village surrounded by nature. The artist skillfully uses a vibrant and earthy color palette, combined with thick, expressive brushstrokes, to create a textured, lively composition that evokes the warmth and simplicity of village life. The painting invites the viewer to experience the peaceful rhythm of the countryside, where people and nature exist in harmony. The foreground features a winding dirt path leading toward the village. The path is painted in a mix of golden yellows, pinks, and soft greens, suggesting a well-trodden route shaped by the footsteps of villagers and the wheels of carts. The thick, swirling brushstrokes create a sense of movement and texture, making the path feel alive and dynamic. At the center of the path, two villagers are depicted walking or resting. The figures are dressed in brightly colored clothing, with one figure in red and the other in green, standing out against the softer, earthy tones of the landscape. Their presence adds a human element to the scene, emphasizing the connection between people and their environment. In the middle ground, the viewer can see traditional village houses with thatched roofs, nestled among tall trees. The houses are painted in soft beige and gray tones, blending harmoniously with the surrounding landscape. These modest structures convey a sense of simplicity and tradition, typical of rural architecture. The trees are depicted with rich, earthy tones of brown, orange, and green, suggesting the transition of seasons — perhaps early autumn, when the leaves begin to change color. The thick application of paint gives the trees a textured, almost sculptural appearance, making them stand out vividly against the sky. A wooden fence runs along the edge of the village, further emphasizing the boundary between the cultivated village and the wild countryside beyond. The background features a bright, expansive sky, painted in shades of turquoise and soft blue, with hints of pink clouds scattered across it. The sky adds a sense of openness and tranquility to the composition, suggesting a peaceful day in the countryside. The cool tones of the sky contrast beautifully with the warm, earthy tones of the village and landscape, creating a balanced composition that draws the viewer's eye across the painting. "Edge of the Village" is a beautifully textured and vibrant painting that captures the timeless charm of rural life. Through the use of bold colors, dynamic brushstrokes, and thoughtful composition, the painting evokes a sense of peace, warmth, and connection to nature. The artwork invites viewers to appreciate the simple joys of village life, reminding them of the importance of tradition, community, and harmony with the natural world.

Oksana Ivanyuk, Edge of the village
Ukraine  • 1964

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.
