Kharkiv, the second largest city in Ukraine, is an important cultural, educational, and industrial center with a history dating back to the 17th century, when it was founded as a fortress. Over the centuries, Kharkiv has transformed into a vibrant metropolis, known for its eclectic architecture, which combines Soviet-era buildings and modern urban projects. Maria Borodin's painting "Kharkiv" conveys the dynamic essence of the city through expressive colors and bold strokes, emphasizing its architectural beauty and lively atmosphere. The work reflects the energy of the city, which has long been a symbol of progress and culture in Ukraine.
This painting is a depiction of one of the streets of the Oleksiivskyi district in Kharkiv. It was based on a photograph by the author's friend. They met on the day of submitting documents to the university, where they both came to study. Therefore, both the photo and the work are filled with coziness and a certain interaction.
A quiet evening, the setting sun, a calm street. The artist uses a mostly warm palette to convey this calming mood.
