A warm evening in Suzdal

This painting captures the gentle transition of a warm evening into night in ancient Suzdal on the banks of the Kamenka River. The pinkish-red and purple colors of the sunset gently spread across the sky, sharply limited by the crowns of trees that surround houses nestled by the water. The light of lanterns is already reflected on their walls, which seem to take over from the sun and begin to illuminate the streets of the city.
The river, serene and almost motionless, reflects the landscape overhead — the sky, trees and houses — blurring the line between the real and the reflected. In the foreground, a darkened slope attracts the viewer, accompanying his gaze before he moves to the illuminated center of the composition.
Textured brushstrokes leave the image light, conveying not only the shapes, but also the atmosphere — the chirping of crickets in the grass, the light coolness rising from the water, the silent tranquility of the city, plunging into the night. This is an image that requires silence, a moment to listen to the quiet conversation between earth, sky and water.
The painting can be hung on the wall without a frame, as the image goes to the ends.
