SPRING IN NEGROVIC VILLAGE. Aleksandr Shandor

This original oil painting captures the lively essence of spring in the Carpathian Mountains through a vibrant color palette and dynamic composition. The foreground is dominated by a rushing mountain river, its waters over stones as it winds through the landscape. The river’s movement leads the viewer’s eye toward a picturesque mountain village, where small houses are nestled among the trees. Everywhere, figures of villagers are seen walking, adding a human element to the serene natural setting.
At the center of the composition, a bush with fresh green leaves stands as a symbol of spring’s renewal and growth. The entire panorama is set against the backdrop of towering, snow-capped mountain peaks, creating a contrast between the lush greenery of the valley and the cool, distant ridges.
The dominant colors in the painting are rich blues and violets of the river and mountains, complemented by warm yellow-green hues of the foliage and soft pink accents on the ground, representing early spring blossoms. This piece captures the joyful energy of springtime in the mountains, where nature comes alive with color and light, offering a beautiful snapshot of life in the Carpathians.
