About this work
The artwork titled «Ifach» created by Oleksiy Zhukov in 2022, captures a minimalist landscape featuring the breathtaking view of the natural reserve mountain, Ifach, in Calpe. The overall color palette of this painting is predominantly blue, with hints of yellow rocks in the foreground.
The composition of the painting is divided into two parts along the horizon line. The lower part portrays the blue sea, painted with acrylic and accentuated with contrasting shades of blue-colored pencils. Thin lines representing wave crests, in a grayish almost white tone, can be seen in certain areas. In the foreground, a touch of ochre reveals the edge of the mountain.
The upper part depicts a gray sky with subtle additions of blue hues and darker blue mountains. The mountains are arranged in the composition as follows: on the right side, a descending mountain transitions into a small plateau, where silhouettes of buildings become visible. This area represents Calpe. Moving closer to the center, the majestic Ifach mountain dominates the scene, extending towards the left edge of the composition and culminating in a headland that meets the sea. To the left of it, there is still a glimpse of the sea.
This artwork beautifully captures the serene atmosphere of the Calpe landscape, showcasing the artist's skillful use of color and attention to detail. The juxtaposition of the blue sea, gray sky, and the intriguing forms of the mountains creates a captivating visual experience.
