Street in Provence. Summer. (2025)Oil painting by Nikifor Swiristuhin

The painting captures the atmosphere of a narrow street in a southern town at the height of summer. The bright facades of the houses, lined along the winding road, shine with shades of red, yellow, blue, and green, evoking a sense of festivity and warmth. Expressive, thick brushstrokes fill the scene with energy, while bold black contours emphasize the architecture and give the composition rhythm and structure. Above the street, the serene blue sky enhances the feeling of lightness and joy. The work reflects the cheerful spirit of Provence, transforming an everyday streetscape into a vivid and emotional image.
This artwork is made by traditional technology. Oil paints, MDF and linseed oil. I love to write etudes from life in a bright impressionistic manner. Small colorful strokes form a rainbow palette. I will try to convey the movement of air masses and the difference between illuminated and shady places.
