Fortress (2022)Oil painting by Boris Serdyuk

SERB803
Fortress is an expressive oil on canvas landscape capturing a historic fortress rising above a quiet river. Rich impasto texture defines the stone walls, green hillside, and reflective water surface, while soft sky tones blend with warm earthy hues of the architecture. The composition balances the solid mass of the fortress with the fluid reflections of the river and surrounding greenery, creating depth and atmosphere.

I created this artwork inspired by the timeless presence of a fortress overlooking the landscape. The textured brushwork emphasizes the strength of the stone walls and the natural harmony between architecture, hillside, and river. I focused on capturing the contrast between the calm water reflections and the monumental character of the fortress under an open sky.

This original oil on canvas artwork is executed with layered impasto technique to enhance structure and light. The fortress, river, hillside, greenery, sky, and reflections form a balanced landscape filled with history and tranquility. It brings strength, elegance, and a contemplative mood into any interior space.
