In the watercolor painting "In the Sumy Region" by the acclaimed Ukrainian artist Serdyuk Boris, we are invited into a tranquil rural landscape, softly illuminated by the golden hues of late afternoon. Nestled among towering trees and vibrant hills, a scattering of cottages with sloped roofs evoke a sense of home, simplicity, and quiet rhythm. The artist uses warm, fluid brushstrokes and a rich but gentle palette to convey the intimacy of village life, where nature and human presence exist in peaceful harmony. The lush greenery of the Sumy region is depicted with great tenderness—trees bend and blend into one another, creating a living wall that embraces the houses. Through this work, Serdyuk expresses a deep love for the Ukrainian countryside—not as something grandiose, but as a place of soulfulness and memory. It’s a celebration of native land, evoking nostalgia and calm, and reminding us of the quiet dignity of life close to nature. 684
