Landscape with Poplars

The landscape with poplars is executed in a decorative, almost ornamental manner, with an expressive linear composition. The vertical rhythm of the trees - slender, elongated poplars - occupies the entire canvas, as if creating a living wall between heaven and earth. Their silhouettes are built in a single tempo, creating a sense of movement and musicality. The background is colored in deep blue and violet tones, which give the scene an evening depth and a slight touch of dreaminess. On the horizon is a ridge of clouds glowing with warm yellow and orange light. These spots of light work as emotional accents, contrasting themselves with the cold scale and filling the painting with a sense of expectation and romantic silence. The lower part of the composition is the reflection in the water. It is not literal, but stylized: shapes and colors are doubled with a slight shift, as if swaying in soft ripples. The general character of the work is decorative, with a clear structure and mood. The painting does not so much describe reality as convey a poetic, idealized perception of it.
