This original artwork “On the outskirts of Moscow” was created by the contemporary Russian artist Marina Petrova  and is available for sale online.

Marina Petrova’s painting “On the Outskirts of Moscow” is a picturesque landscape in which the artist celebrates the beauty and serenity of the suburbs, contrasting with the hustle and bustle of the big city. Using a rich, yet harmonious color palette and the technique of realism with elements of impressionism, she creates an atmosphere of summer warmth, peace, and nostalgia characteristic of old Moscow outskirts. It is not just an image of an old house with a fence, but like a visual embodiment of a bygone era, a quiet life away from the capital’s noise.

At the center of attention of the painting is a narrow path going into the distance. The path, illuminated by patches of sunlight piercing through the foliage, creates a sense of perspective and beckons the viewer into the composition. It symbolizes the path that leads from urban bustle to natural peace.

On the right along the path stretches an old wooden fence, entwined with lush greenery and bright, profusely flowering bushes. Special attention is drawn to a tree with a lush, bright pink crown, which is possibly a flowering apple or cherry tree, adding a colorful and cheerful accent to the composition. The flowers seem to be a symbol of abundance, the beauty of nature, and the coziness that can still be found on the outskirts.

On the left, the path is framed by a high, dark tree trunk, casting a dense shadow on the path, which enhances the contrast between light and shadow, creating depth. In the distance, you can see an old wooden house, which looks cozy and inhabited, being the center of a serene life.

The artist uses the technique of realism with elements of impressionism, focusing on conveying the play of light and shadow, as well as the richness of summer colors. Bold, but precise brushstrokes convey the texture of foliage, wood, and fence, creating the feeling of a warm summer day.

Overall, the plot of the painting conveys a feeling of peace, nostalgia, and the beauty of a quiet country life. The painting seems to invite the viewer to take a break, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy the simple charm of the moment, reminding us that harmony is often hidden where you least expect it - on the outskirts of a big city.
