This painting is a love letter to the vineyards, where each grape, plump with the sun's embrace, tells a story of autumn's ripe abundance. The artist, Serhii Khliupin, brings to life the muscat's juicy sweetness against the backdrop of a thriving vine. Every brushstroke celebrates the meticulous care of vineyards, evolving into a visual feast that encapsulates the soul of wine-making and the harvest's culmination. It’s a contemporary art piece that not only captures the visual beauty of grapes but also invokes the taste, aroma, and very essence of a bountiful harvest.
With the outbreak of war, the hobby became a necessity and a cure for despair and anxiety. One day in March, an enemy shell from "Gradu" flew into the room where I lived, a meter away from me, which destroyed the apartment and injured me. Thank God, there was no fire, everyone remained alive and the drawings were preserved. Then, like most of our compatriots, we had to move to Lviv. In Lviv, he decided to master a new direction - oil paintings. Here he opened a new page of creativity: landscapes, still lifes. In December 2022, he returned to his hometown. Although Kharkov is shelled, life continues. Although most art galleries are closed because of the war, in April 2023 my first solo exhibition of my paintings took place at the Kharkiv Opera Theater in the Lilac gallery. Then two more exhibitions of my paintings were successfully held. I am already preparing the fourth exhibition.
