The painting "The Yard is Covered in Snow" is a charming and atmospheric winter scene that captures the beauty and tranquility of a rural village during the cold season. The artist masterfully uses a palette knife technique to apply thick layers of oil paint, creating a textured, three-dimensional effect that brings the scene to life. The painting evokes a sense of nostalgia and warmth despite the cold, snow-covered landscape. In the foreground, the yard is blanketed with fresh snow, depicted in shades of white, lavender, and pale blue, suggesting the softness and purity of freshly fallen snow. The thick, textured application of paint gives the snow a realistic, almost tangible quality, making the viewer feel as though they could touch the cold surface. Several traditional houses with steep, snow-covered roofs are nestled together in the middle ground. The roofs are heavily laden with snow, their white peaks standing out against the darker wooden walls of the buildings. The houses are painted in earthy tones of brown and gray, with hints of blue, which contrast beautifully with the bright, cold tones of the snow. The trees surrounding the houses add warmth and vibrancy to the composition. Painted in shades of pink, purple, and deep green, the trees bring a lively splash of color to the otherwise wintry palette. The artist captures the subtle hues of a winter day, where the bare trees reflect the colors of the sky and surrounding environment. A tall wooden pole stands prominently in the left part of the composition, adding a vertical element that anchors the scene. The pole, painted in warm browns and yellows, contrasts with the cool tones of the snow and sky, adding balance to the composition. In the lower right corner, two birds, possibly crows, can be seen pecking at the snow. Their dark silhouettes bring life and movement to the quiet yard, emphasizing the resilience of nature even in the harsh winter months. The background features a bright, turquoise sky, suggesting that the snowfall has stopped, and the sun is beginning to break through the clouds. The vibrant sky contrasts with the muted tones of the snow and buildings, creating a dynamic and harmonious balance between warm and cool colors. The overall mood of the painting is peaceful and serene, capturing the quiet beauty of a rural village in winter. The signature in the bottom right corner signifies the work of a skilled artist with a distinctive style, blending impressionistic techniques with a deep appreciation for the natural world. "The Yard is Covered in Snow" is a captivating piece that invites the viewer to experience the charm and coziness of a snow-covered village, evoking a sense of warmth and comfort despite the cold surroundings. It would make a delightful addition to any collection focused on rural landscapes, seasonal themes, or impressionistic art.

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.
