The Church in Oberwil (2023)Pastel drawing
by Vasyl Koval

This painting beautifully captures the atmosphere of a Swiss village, where architecture harmoniously blends with nature. The clock tower, characteristic of European churches, stands at the center of the composition, symbolizing the peaceful and measured rhythm of life. The white facade of the building contrasts vividly with the deep blue sky, while the red-brown roofs in the foreground create a cozy, almost fairytale-like appearance.

The dark green trees on the right add a sense of stability and timelessness, characteristic of historic Alpine settlements. The painting seems to invite the viewer to immerse themselves in its atmosphere—to imagine the chime of the church clock, feel the crisp mountain air, and enjoy the tranquility of the Swiss countryside.
