Trees 2011

"Trees" is a 2011 painting by Ukrainian artist Ivan Marchuk. It is a characteristic example of his realist style, depicting the natural world in meticulous detail. The work features a dense thicket of trees, their branches interweaving and obscuring the view of a dilapidated building beyond. This creates a sense of mystery and isolation, inviting the viewer to contemplate the hidden depths of the scene. The painting evokes a sense of stillness and decay, offering a poignant meditation on the passage of time.
