This original oil painting captures a quiet, thoughtful moment — a strong man sitting peacefully in a garden, surrounded by the soft greens of nature. Painted in the 1980s by Ukrainian artist Olena Yablonska (1918–2009), this work is truly special.
Yablonska was known for her beautiful landscapes and nature scenes. She rarely painted people, which makes this expressive male portrait a rare and unique treasure from her artistic legacy.
The brushstrokes are bold and textured, created with the impasto technique, where the paint stands off the surface and adds a dynamic, sculptural feel. The figure feels alive, almost as if you could reach out and touch the sunlight on his skin.
Hand-painted in oil on paper, this piece is set in a richly carved, vintage-style frame that perfectly complements the earthy, natural tones.
This artwork is more than just a painting — it’s a rare moment of human presence in a world of nature. A perfect addition for collectors of vintage Soviet art, lovers of figurative painting, or anyone looking for an expressive and meaningful piece.
