The oil painting on Canvas titled "Moonlit Night in the Field" captures a quiet, contemplative moment under the deep cover of night, revealing the rich emotional weight and atmospheric beauty of rural life. Executed in a thick impasto style, the textured strokes of oil paint give the entire surface a sculptural, almost three-dimensional quality. The work draws the viewer into a mysterious and intimate landscape where darkness and muted light dance across the field and sky. In the foreground, we see an uneven field rendered in rich, earthy browns, ochres, and shadowy violets. The paint is layered with bold palette knife work, creating the tactile illusion of damp soil, rough grasses, and the aftermath of long workdays. Near the bottom edge of the composition, a faint glimmer of water—a stream or perhaps a puddle—catches a subtle reflection, breaking the monochrome with swirls of muted light blue, ivory, and gold. This reflection subtly anchors the composition, giving it a focal point of gentle luminosity amid the enveloping darkness. Emerging from the left side of the painting is the lone figure of a man. His stance is slightly bent forward, his long tool—perhaps a scythe or rake—indicating agricultural labor. Despite being positioned at the edge, he becomes the spiritual center of the piece. Dressed in a yellowish-golden hue that glows under the moonlight, he appears both physically weary and emotionally still, almost merged with the earth he works on. The artist uses a lighter, warmer palette for this figure compared to the rest of the scene, which makes him quietly luminous—an embodiment of human presence in a vast, indifferent world. The middle ground features a small distant village along the horizon line, with scattered dots of red, white, and green rooftops and small bright rectangles symbolizing lit windows. This distant glow contrasts with the dark, moody palette of the field, hinting at human life and warmth. The village is a symbol of shelter, routine, and community—perhaps where the worker will soon return after a long day. It also provides a visual balance, offsetting the somber, heavy tones of the land with a gentle suggestion of life continuing beyond the solitude of labor. Above it all, the sky is a swirling, thick expanse of layered twilight. The brushwork here becomes more abstract, expressive, and emotionally charged. Deep blues, grays, purples, and black tones are scraped and blended to evoke the shifting, living sky. A crescent moon hovers to the upper left of the scene, rendered in a soft ochre-white glow. It acts not as a spotlight but a quiet guardian—a witness to both the solitude and nobility of night labor. The moon's placement and curve echo the posture of the man, as if nature itself is bending with him in unison.

Presentation
Oleksiy Andriyovych Ivanyuk was born on March 13, 1954, in the city of Pyriatyn, Poltava Oblast, Ukraine. He is a painter and is married to O. Ivanyuk. He became a member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine (NSHU) in 2003.
He completed his education at the Crimean Art School in Simferopol in 1987, where he was taught by prominent instructors including V. Bernadsky, L. Greiser, and M. Morgun. From 1988 to 2008, he taught fine arts at the Pyriatyn School-Gymnasium of Aesthetic Education.
Oleksiy Ivanyuk has been actively engaged in artistic work and has participated in national and international art exhibitions since 1978. He has held solo exhibitions in various locations including Kyiv (2003, 2007-2009), Lubny (Poltava Oblast), California (USA; both in 2006), Poltava (2007, 2010), Pryluky (Chernihiv Oblast, 2008), and Warsaw (2009).
His primary genres of art are landscape and still life. His paintings are characterized by emotional sincerity and a warm, soulful quality that affirms the harmony of life. His creative work is deeply rooted in national traditions and the cultural heritage of Ukraine.
Some of his artworks are preserved in the National Art Museum (NHM), the Taras Shevchenko National Museum, the Museum of Cultural Heritage in Kyiv, and the Poltava Local Lore Museum.
Some of Oleksiy Ivanyuk's notable works include:
- "March" and "Wildflowers" (both 2002)
- "Twisted Gentlemen" and "Still Life with Narcissus" (both 2004)
- "Sunflower Field," "Apple Blossom," and "Evening Breath" (all 2005)
- "Silence" and "Summer" (both 2006)
- "Sunflowers" (2007)
- "Star Field," "Such a Life...," and "In the Garden" (all 2009)
- "Cold" (2010).
These artworks showcase his talent and artistic expression, often focusing on themes related to nature and the Ukrainian cultural heritage.
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.
