Description
AAA5306
The oil painting on Cardboard titled "The Road Among the Trees" invites the viewer into a textured and atmospheric forest scene, where light and shadow, color and contrast, combine to evoke the mystery and richness of nature. The composition, built with thick, expressive brushstrokes and a vivid palette, leads the eye along a winding path flanked by tall, brooding trees and bursts of golden autumn foliage. At the heart of the painting is the earthen road itself, rendered in ochres, siennas, and muted violets, suggesting a well-trodden route through the forest. The path curves gently, inviting the viewer to follow it into the distant fog or light beyond the trees. The thick application of paint, laid with a palette knife, adds physicality to the terrain, capturing the unevenness of the ground and the interplay of shadow and texture. The ruts and depressions of the road are not just seen but felt, hinting at the passage of wheels or footsteps over time. On the left side of the canvas, towering trunks of pine and spruce trees rise vertically, painted in deep blues, grays, and greens. These forms are shaded and cool, almost spectral in appearance, their outlines softened by mist. The density of this darker woodland evokes a sense of mystery, with the trees standing like silent sentinels. Their shadows stretch across the forest floor, merging with the shadows of the road, adding depth and mood to the composition. In stark contrast, the right side of the canvas explodes with autumnal brilliance. A small deciduous tree, painted in vibrant oranges, yellows, and fiery reds, dominates the foreground. The leaves, rendered with quick, confident dabs and swirls of the knife, blaze against the more subdued surroundings, catching what little light filters through the canopy. This tree becomes the emotional center of the work—vivid, defiant, and alive amidst the quiet stillness of the forest. The juxtaposition of cool and warm tones—the deep purples and blues of the shaded pines with the sunlit golds and ambers of the foreground—creates a dynamic tension that energizes the scene. The background fades into a hazy mist, where trees lose definition and the forest opens into a soft, ethereal light. The light here is diffused and cool, painted with pale lavender, sky blue, and milky white, giving the impression of an early morning or late afternoon hour when the sun struggles to pierce the canopy.
Presentation
Born in 1960 in Konotop, Sumy Region, Ukraine.
1984 - Graduated from Yuriev-Polsky Pedagogical School (Department of Art and Graphics).
Worked as a drawing and drafting teacher, painting and wood carving instructor, artist-designer.
Held the position of Chief Artist in Konotop.
Since 2000 - Independent artist.
Member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine.
Works by Boris Serdyuk are held in museums in the Sumy and Chernihiv regions, as well as in private collections in Ukraine, European countries, the USA, Israel, and other countries.
In 2018, the artist entered the global art space of the creative platform in New York, where seven of his works were included in the catalog "Painting & Graphics."
Currently lives and works in Kremenchuk, Poltava Region.
Took his first steps in the world of visual arts within the walls of his local school, then studied at Yuriev-Polsky Pedagogical School. After graduation, he returned to his homeland and started working as a drawing and painting teacher.
Later, he realized that for an artist, creative freedom is essential. Thus, after seventeen years of teaching, he left the profession to focus on his creative work. The artist is content to have the opportunity to engage in his beloved craft, which he considers the meaning of his life.
His journey had its ups and downs, victories in competitions, and recognition from admirers, yet he never ceased his determined quest for his artistic path. In ancient times, "serdyuk" referred to professional infantrymen in the Cossack ranks. This heritage likely passed down not only the surname but also many Cossack traits to the artist, including hard work, modesty, and human dignity.
Boris Serdyuk creates in genres such as portrait, landscape, and thematic composition. His works are varied, reflecting the artist's impressions of the places he visited. Among them are picturesque corners of Kremenchuk and Dnipro views, urban and maritime landscapes, the grandeur of the Carpathian Mountains, and cozy Ukrainian villages. His canvases are intriguing in terms of color and relatively compositionally perfect, revealing the life of nature at the time of their execution.
There are also commissioned portraits and paintings, such as "Shevchenko in Baturyn." He spent over a year working on it, studying the architecture of the former hetman capital. However, the artist prefers to work swiftly, capturing the vision of a painting before it fades from his mind and before the sun changes its angle and shadows. On average, according to the artist, he spends about 40 minutes on a single landscape.
Boris successfully combines a poetic perception of the world and a deep understanding of nature with brilliant artistic execution. His paintings exude a special light and a delicate sense of nature – vivid colors on the canvas resonate with intermediate tones. The artist has abandoned contours, replacing them with separate and contrasting brushstrokes; his paintings amaze with colors, not only their diversity but also the amount of substance applied to the canvas – vibrant, vivid, voluminous.
Describing the master's works is a challenging task. Boris Serdyuk's works are special – they are painted with soul. One must see and feel the wonderful harmony of nature on the artist's canvases firsthand and touch the great mystery of Art.
