“Before the Storm” (2026) Original Oil Painting by Nikifor Swiristuhin

“Before the Storm” is a painting about that very moment when nature freezes in anxious anticipation of the coming tempest. I painted the village street with быстрые, thick brushstrokes, trying to capture the movement of the wind and the weight of the heavy clouds above. The old houses, the crooked fence, and the damp road all seem to sense the approaching rain. In the sky, cold shades of gray, blue, and crimson blend together, creating a tense and emotional atmosphere. For me, this work is not just a landscape, but a state of mind where the silence before the storm is filled with hidden power, тревога, and the unique beauty of the fading day.
