Painting Forest, artist Boyko Peter

Gallery wrapped, canvas on a stretcher frame.

This medium-format painting, measuring 80 x 100 cm (31.5 x 39.4 inches), will be a beautiful accent in any interior.

On Petro Boiko's canvas "Forest," a surreal and symbolic scene unfolds, for which the title "Three-Handed Work" seems perfectly apt.

At the center of the composition is a human figure, rendered in the artist's characteristic primitivist style. The character is sawing a tree, nervously smoking a cigarette, which underscores the hero's anxieties. The painting's background is divided into several zones: there's a bright orange sun with radiating beams, and also a crescent moon, emphasizing the grotesque nature of the plot — "working day and night."

Artistic details add mystery to the composition and convey the philosophical comicality of the author's creative concept.

The painting is executed in Petro Boiko's recognizable style — with heavy, impasto brushstrokes that emphasize the texture and dimensionality of the forms, creating a sense of substantial work. The color palette, rich with contrasts of orange, green, red, blue, and violet, intensifies the emotional impact and highlights the symbolism of the image. "Forest" is not merely a depiction of a lumberjack, but a profound philosophical reflection on humanity's place in the world, its interaction with nature, and its own inner self.

Artist Boyko Peter is renowned for his unique style and boundless humor, sharing his whimsical vision of the world with art connoisseurs. The painting "The Forest" is like a living page from a children's fairytale or a fantastic dream, where nature appears in an entirely new, unexpected light. The canvas is filled with bright, vibrant colors — deep greens, woody browns, fiery reds, and sunny yellows — creating a whimsical yet harmonious scene. This isn't just a landscape; it's a playful dance between expressionistic energy and a fairytale narrative.

At the center of the composition is the figure of a good-eyed lumberjack, jauntily smoking a pipe, who appears to be working "with three hands," and around him are stylized trees with sharp, almost geometric outlines. A sun on the horizon with bright rays, reminiscent of children's drawings, and an orange moon in a purple sky — all of this intertwines in a fantastical narrative. Boyko Peter's genius lies in his ability to infuse these compositions with a joyful, almost surreal narrative, inviting viewers to adorn the mundane with vibrant imagination.
