This original work «Outskirts. Grandfather Vasily and Doberman» was created by contemporary Russian artist Ivanka Agueli and is available for purchase online.
The painting by Ivanka Agueli titled “Outskirts. Дед Василий и доберман” (Outskirts. Grandfather Vasily and Doberman) offers a simple and sincere view of life in the provinces, where a traditional rural landscape coexists with signs of modern industrialization.
At the center of the composition, on a gentle green slope, stand Grandfather Vasily and his faithful companion — a Doberman. The figures are rendered concisely but recognizably. Grandfather Vasily, leaning on a cane or stick, appears strong and serene. His clothing is simple and practical, emphasizing his connection to the land. The Doberman standing nearby is dignified and attentively watches the surroundings.
The slope on which Grandfather Vasily and the Doberman stand occupies much of the foreground. Green dominates, but various shades create a sense of depth and texture. The earth seems to breathe, filled with sunlight and fresh air.
In the background, hills and buildings are visible. Modest houses with red tiled roofs add coziness and a lived-in feel to the landscape. However, the idyll is disrupted by an industrial scene on the horizon — factory or plant chimneys billowing thick smoke. This element creates an interesting contrast between quiet rural life and the modern industrial world.
The color palette of the painting is restrained, dominated by natural shades: green, brown, gray, and white. Yet there are bright accents, such as the red roofs of the houses, which bring liveliness to the landscape.
Ivanka Agueli’s painting style is characterized by simplicity and expressiveness. Forms are generalized, details minimized, creating a sense of spontaneity and sincerity. The painting seems to be done from life, inspired by what was seen.
«Outskirts. Grandfather Vasily and Doberman» is not just a landscape but rather a sketch from life capturing a moment of unity between man and nature. The painting tells a story about simple people, the connection between generations, loyalty, and devotion. It also raises the issue of industrialization’s impact on the environment and how the modern world intrudes into the quiet life of the provinces. The work reminds us of the importance of preserving traditions and the value of simple human joys.
This painting can be hung on the wall in your apartment, house, office, restaurant, or hotel, and it will become a wonderful decoration for your interior.
