Overlooking the City (2024)Oil painting by Boris Serdyuk

AAA3694
Overlooking the City is a vibrant oil on cardboard landscape that captures a peaceful riverside view with small houses nestled beneath glowing autumn trees. Expressive palette knife strokes and thick impasto texture give the composition depth and movement, while reflections shimmer across the water in rich layers of gold, violet, and green. The elevated viewpoint allows the viewer to gaze over the city edge, blending architecture and nature into one harmonious scene.

I created this artwork inspired by quiet moments when you stand above a town and observe how light transforms rooftops, foliage, and riverbanks. The contrast between warm orange leaves and cool lavender sky conveys the changing season and a sense of calm contemplation. I particularly love how the textured surface enhances the atmosphere, making the landscape feel alive and full of emotion.

This original artwork is executed with professional oil paints on cardboard using a palette knife technique to build strong impasto layers and bold color transitions. The dynamic texture and luminous reflections make it an expressive statement piece for collectors who appreciate scenic views, architectural accents, and seasonal landscapes. It brings warmth, depth, and character into any interior space.
