ABOUT ARTWORK
This original oil painting, created in an impressionistic style with elements of linearism, showcases a serene winter landscape in a mountain village. The piece is a testament to the artist's mastery of complex techniques, combining lively impasto brushstrokes with elongated strokes that bring texture and depth to the scene.
The composition centers around two houses—one facing the viewer and the other positioned sideways—with smoke gently rising from the chimney of the latter, adding warmth to the cold setting. To the left, snow-covered roofs and trees anchor the foreground, while to the right, a snow-laden road guides the eye deeper into the composition.
In the background, the majestic, snow-capped mountains are painted in cool tones of blue and violet, contrasting with the cloudy sky above. The dominant cold colors evoke the crispness of winter, creating a tranquil yet vivid portrayal of rural life amidst the towering peaks. This painting captures the quiet beauty of a winter's day in the mountains, where nature and human presence coexist in perfect harmony.
