This original artwork “At the Podmoskovnaya station” was created by the contemporary Russian artist Ekaterina Kebal  and is available for sale online

Ekaterina Kebal’s painting “At the Podmoskovnaya Station” is a sketch of an industrial landscape, capturing a corner of an old railway station with its unique flavor and atmosphere. The artist uses a warm, saturated color palette and energetic strokes to convey a sense of movement, strength, and the historical significance of this place.

At the center of attention of the painting is an old steam locomotive, frozen on the tracks of the station. The massive machine, executed in dark tones, occupies most of the canvas. The artist focuses on its size, emphasizing its impressiveness and power. The steam locomotive seems to breathe history and reminds us of the glorious past of railway transport.

Behind the steam locomotive rises a water tower, which is also an integral part of the railway infrastructure. Its brick walls are executed in ochre and brown tones. The tower seems high and strong, capable of withstanding any load. At the top of the tower, you can see the inscription “ЛРЗЭ,” which probably denotes the name of the enterprise.

A special feature of the painting is the angle chosen by the artist. The viewer looks at the steam locomotive and the tower from the bottom up, which gives the landscape a sense of grandeur and scale. It seems that the steam locomotive and the tower seem to tower over the surrounding world, reminding us of the strength and power of man, capable of creating such complex and amazing mechanisms.

Part of the platform, located on the right, is executed in lighter tones. It seems to invite the viewer to climb it and go on a trip. The platform adds an element of realism to the landscape and creates a sense of proximity to the scene.

Despite the fact that there are no people in the painting, their presence is felt. It seems that the steam locomotive is waiting for the signal to depart, and passengers have gathered on the platform, preparing for the trip. The painting seems to capture a moment before the start of the movement, filled with anticipation and hope.

The artist uses the technique of Impressionism, focusing on conveying the overall impression of what is seen, rather than on the detailed rendering of each object. Energetic, free strokes create a sense of movement and liveliness, as if the air is filled with the smell of coal and smoke.

Overall, the plot of the painting conveys a feeling of strength, grandeur, and historical significance. It is an ode to the industrial era, machines, and progress. The painting seems to invite the viewer to feel themselves in the past, imagine themselves as the driver of this powerful steam locomotive, and go on a fascinating journey through the vastness of Russia. This canvas is about the technology, speed, and energy that moved the world forward.

The title of the painting, “At the Podmoskovnaya Station,” indicates the specific place depicted on the canvas. Podmoskovnaya Station is a historic railway station that has preserved the spirit of old Moscow and is an important monument of architecture and technology.
