Oil painting Peaches on a plate Vyacheslav Pereta

№Tep 156

The oil painting on hardboard titled "Peaches on a Plate" is a vibrant and intimate still life that captures the rich beauty of ripe fruit in a moment of quiet elegance. The artist masterfully brings together color, texture, and light to create a composition that is both realistic and emotionally resonant. This painting evokes the pleasures of summer and the simplicity of nature's bounty through a timeless, classical approach. At the center of the scene lies a white plate that gently cradles several luscious peaches. Their surfaces gleam with subtle reflections, their skins rendered in soft, yet expressive strokes of warm oranges, reds, and yellows. Each peach is unique, showing slight differences in hue and form that convey their organic nature. The viewer can almost feel the softness of the fruit’s velvety surface and imagine its sweet, fragrant aroma. The colors are bold and saturated, with warm tones dominating the composition and evoking sunlight and warmth. The peaches are accompanied by large, deep green leaves that twist and curve around the plate and onto the tabletop. These leaves add contrast to the warm fruit, balancing the composition with cooler tones and providing a sense of movement that brings dynamism to the still life. The artist's brushstrokes are deliberate and energetic, emphasizing the vitality of the subject while preserving the structure and realism of the forms. The background is painted in soft, neutral grays that recede into space, allowing the vibrancy of the fruit and foliage to command full attention. This simplicity enhances the focus on the main elements and contributes to the timeless atmosphere of the work. The subtle gradation in the background adds depth without distracting from the focal point. The table surface is suggested with warm, earthy tones and visible brushwork that gives the scene a tactile quality. Light plays across the fruit and leaves, highlighting their contours and creating a gentle interplay of shadow and illumination. The shadows are not heavy or harsh but rather soft and harmonious, contributing to the peaceful mood of the painting.

About the artist: I, Vyacheslav Pereta Nikolaevich, was born on March 30, 1977 in the city of Dubno, Rivne region.
From early childhood I spent many hours drawing, which prompted my parents to enroll me in an art school.
Over the years, my passion grew into an internal need, and I began to think about the career of an artist. The basics of art education were given to me by my father, then there were preparatory courses at the Academy and in 2002 I entered the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture at the Faculty of Painting.
I studied with great enthusiasm, took an active part in academic exhibitions and competitions, and was awarded. From the third year of study, I was enrolled in the workshop of Professor Gurin V.I. , my teachers were Golembievskaya T. and Zorko A. I defended my bachelor's degree with the painting “Spring”, which was subsequently acquired by the Museum of Modern Art.
I graduated from NAOMA in 2008 and actively engaged in creative activities. In 2011-2012. performed four historical paintings for the Ministry of Culture of Macedonia. Held a number of personal and collective exhibitions, including in Cherkasy and S. art museums. In 2012 he was admitted to the National Union of Artists of Ukraine.
My inner world has always warmly responded to the work of impressionist artists, and among domestic masters I am fascinated by the works of K. Korovin, F. Zakharov, N. Glushchenko. A sharp and interesting compositional solution, subtle color relationships, which are decisive in creating the “mood” of a picture, are those tasks that excite me the most. My works are in private collections in Ukraine and abroad. I live in the city of Dubno, Rivne region.
