This original artwork “Sunset at the river Klyazma” was created by the contemporary Russian artist Ekaterina Kebal  and is available for sale online

Ekaterina Kebal’s painting “Sunset at the Klyazma River” is a captivating landscape, capturing the moment of sunset over a quiet river. It’s not just a statement of place and time, but a subtle experience of nature’s state, permeated with poetry and contemplation.

The canvas is divided into several planes, each of which plays its role in creating the overall atmosphere. The upper plane undoubtedly dominates due to the depiction of the sky. It occupies most of the space and is a key element that sets the tone for the entire painting. The sky is not just blue, but shimmers with many shades, reflecting the moment of sunset. At the horizon, you can see saturated golden and orange colors, smoothly transitioning into more muted pink and lilac. Cold blue and blue tones prevail at the top. This color scheme not only realistically conveys the sunset sky but also creates a sense of dynamics and changeability, reminding us of the transience of time.

The middle plane, located under the sky, represents the horizon line. Here, the outlines of trees, shrubs, and possibly hills are visible. All of them are depicted as silhouettes, without detailed elaboration, which allows you to focus on the play of light and shadow. In this part of the landscape, a small building with a roof can be discerned. Its location among the trees on an elevation suggests that it is a village house or, perhaps, a dacha, as if hiding in the embrace of nature.

The lower plane occupies the image of the Klyazma River. Its waters reflect the sunset sky, but not in a mirror image. The surface of the river is conveyed with broad, saturated strokes of dark shades of green, blue, and brown. This creates a sense of depth and tranquility, and also shows that the water is in motion, albeit slow. Reflections of the setting sun are visible on the surface of the river, adding brightness and liveliness to the landscape.

The artist skillfully uses the technique of Impressionism, focusing not on the detailed drawing of objects, but on conveying the overall impression, light, and atmosphere. Broad, free strokes create a feeling of movement and liveliness, as if nature itself is breathing on the canvas.

The plot of the painting immerses the viewer in the atmosphere of a quiet evening in nature, when the sun, completing its journey, gives the world its beauty and warmth for the last time. A feeling of peace, tranquility, and harmony with the surrounding world arises.
