Ivan Stankevich's canvas breathes life into the quotidian yet unfading allure of the countryside. At the heart of this landscape lies a tranquil river, its surface mirroring the thriving verdure and the modest bridge that serves not just as a crossing but as a connector of realms. The foreground's vivid forestry and lush bushes frame the serene water, leading the viewer’s gaze towards the harmonious dance of reflection. Far beyond, the juxtaposition of meadow fields against factory silhouettes whispers tales of evolving landscapes, yet the artist’s portrayal reaffirms the enduring beauty of nature amidst human advancement.
He worked in the field of energy all his life. It seemed that he was engaged in his favorite work. But he loved to draw since childhood. He was fond of drawing and woodburning. Already at a more mature age, in old age, he decided to return to his favorite business. And only in 2015 he began to paint pictures. As you understand, I am self-taught. I learned most of the techniques and manners through the Internet. I tried to copy some, and also created my own. What I can do with the performance is up to you.
