This original artwork «Old City of Rybinsk» was created by contemporary Russian artist Oksana Dykan and is available for purchase online.

The painting by Oksana Dykan “Old City of Rybinsk” is a vivid and expressive depiction of a historic urban landscape, executed with particular warmth and immediacy. The artist uses a bold palette and a loose painting style to convey the atmosphere of the old Russian town, its unique rhythm, and architectural charm.

The composition is centered around a main street stretching into the distance. This creates a strong perspective that draws the viewer deep into the painting. On both sides of the street stand old buildings, their facades painted in bright yet harmoniously combined colors: warm ochres, soft pinks, lilacs, and creamy shades. This play of colors gives the old architecture a lively spirit, lifting it out of the shadow of academic rigidity.

Particular attention is drawn to the building on the right with a distinctive rounded tower and a dark dome-shaped roof. This architectural element serves as a visual anchor for the composition. Next to it stands a street lamp, adding an urban touch.

The sky above the city is dynamic. It is painted with broad strokes of blue, white, and light lilac, giving it movement and airiness. It seems as if clouds are swiftly drifting over the rooftops, emphasizing the fleeting moment the artist sought to capture.

On the street, small generalized figures of pedestrians are visible, adding humanity and scale to the scene. Their silhouettes, rendered with a few confident strokes, highlight the lively activity of life in this old town.

Oksana Dykan’s style leans toward expressive post-impressionism. She does not aim for photographic accuracy but focuses on conveying the overall impression, mood, and emotional response. The bold use of color, where shadows can be purple and walls pink, creates a sense of celebration and vitality.

«Old City of Rybinsk» is a hymn to provincial charm, where the history of buildings intertwines with pure, unfiltered joy of color. Oksana Dykan’s painting invites the viewer to stroll through the old streets, immerse themselves in their atmosphere, and enjoy the artist’s bright, optimistic vision of a familiar urban landscape. This is a city that lives, breathes, and delights the eye with its unique palette.
