Original artwork description:

Igor Galan’s Evening offers a meditative reflection on rural stillness, rendered with expressive brushwork and tonal restraint. This oil on canvas, measuring 20x30 cm, was completed in 2022 as part of the artist’s occasional shift toward smaller formats – used not for sketches but for distilling a singular, spontaneous emotion or memory.

At the center of the composition is a humble structure – perhaps a village shed or home – nestled among leafless trees. The brushstrokes capture the fleeting drama of twilight, with dimming skies, brooding clouds, and shadows that evoke both nostalgia and solitude. Despite its modest size, Evening carries the atmosphere of a much larger painting. It speaks to Galan’s strength as a painter of psychological landscapes, where every tree, doorway, and cloud contributes to a deeper emotional narrative.

This work is perfect for collectors who appreciate poetic realism, Eastern European landscape traditions, and emotionally resonant scenes that linger long after viewing.
