This original work, «Backwater», was created by contemporary Russian artist Ilya Zolotukhin and is available for purchase online.
Ilya Zolotukhin's painting «Backwater» is a poignant landscape that recreates a quiet corner of Russian nature in its autumn attire. The artist, using a realistic painting style, conveys the tranquility and calm of this secluded place, where time seems to slow down.
Before the viewer lies a small lake overgrown with water lilies, or rather, a backwater. The calm surface of the water reflects the sky with light clouds and the autumn forest surrounding the body of water. The reflection is so clear that it is difficult to immediately tell where reality ends and its mirror image begins.
The banks of the backwater are densely covered with reeds and other vegetation painted in autumn tones — from bright yellow to rich brown. These shades create a feeling of warmth and coziness despite the fading nature. The trees surrounding the backwater have already shed some of their leaves, revealing trunks and branches, which adds a touch of melancholy to the landscape.
In the center of the composition, in the foreground, there is a small raft made of logs. Its presence introduces an element of human presence into the landscape without disturbing the overall harmony. The raft seems to be waiting for its owner to set off for a quiet fishing trip or simply to drift on the waves, enjoying the beauty of the surrounding nature.
Zolotukhin uses a subdued color palette characteristic of autumn landscapes. The soft transitions between shades create a sense of depth and volume, as well as convey an atmosphere of silence and peace. It feels as if you can hear only the rustling of leaves and the gentle murmur of water.
Ilya Zolotukhin's «Backwater» is not just a landscape but rather a state of mind. The painting evokes feelings of tranquility, nostalgia for the departed summer, and anticipation of the coming winter. It is an ode to Russian nature, its modest yet captivating beauty. The painting seems to invite the viewer to pause, to take a break from everyday hustle and bustle, and to enjoy the silence and calm of this secluded spot.
