ABOUT ARTWORK
This original oil painting beautifully captures the serene charm of a mountain village nestled in the Carpathian Mountains during autumn.

The artist's plein-air approach brings an authentic, spontaneous quality to the work, with vibrant colors and bold textures that vividly depict the natural beauty of the landscape.
