This oil painting cardboard, titled "Village in the shade of trees", the scene presents a picturesque rural village, nestled among towering trees, their forms abstracted yet recognizable. The landscape is divided into distinct horizontal sections that guide the viewer’s eye through the painting. The foreground bursts with vibrant yellows, greens, and orange tones, representing a lush meadow filled with wildflowers and tall grasses. The bold, swirling strokes give a sense of movement, as if the wind is rustling through the field. The middle ground is dominated by the small houses of the village, depicted in warm hues of orange, red, and ochre, which contrast beautifully against the deep cool shades of the trees. These homes are partially obscured by shadows and foliage, reinforcing the idea of a peaceful, secluded settlement. The artist uses thick, deliberate strokes to shape the rooftops and walls, making them appear solid and nestled comfortably within nature. The background features an expressive sky, painted in soft turquoise and pastel pink tones, with swirling clouds that evoke a dreamlike atmosphere. These cool, ethereal hues provide a striking contrast to the warm golden tones of the meadow, enhancing the visual harmony of the piece. The sky, with its softly blended pastel hues, suggests either dawn or dusk, enhancing the tranquil yet dynamic quality of the composition. The bold strokes and impasto technique give the painting a tactile quality, making the viewer almost feel the texture of the landscape. This painting radiates a sense of peace and nostalgia, evoking the warmth of a quiet village life, untouched by the chaos of modernity. The cool shadows of the trees offer shelter and calmness, while the vibrant colors of the flowers and sky suggest a world filled with life and movement. The expressive brushwork and thick layers of paint enhance the emotional depth of the scene, making it not just a landscape but a feeling, a memory, an invitation to step into a moment of stillness and beauty. The artist employs a loose, expressive approach, reminiscent of Post-Impressionism and Fauvism, focusing on bold colors and exaggerated contrasts rather than strict realism. This combination of vibrant color choices, rich textures, and dynamic composition creates an artwork that is both engaging and emotionally stirring, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in its vivid beauty.
