Artwork Description

“Against Ribbons of Orange and Purple” is an original oil on wood panel by Paul Chizik, beautifully presented in a contemporary black frame.

Chizik is a classically trained Canadian painter known for his atmospheric realism and masterful command of light. Inspired by European plein-air traditions, his paintings bridge classical technique with contemporary sensitivity, making his work highly sought after by collectors across Canada and abroad.

This intimate composition captures the moment when day transitions into dusk. Delicate ribbons of orange, gold, and muted purple drift across the sky, illuminating the silhouettes of tall, bare trees. The warm horizon glow softens into cool mid-tones, creating a poetic balance between vibrancy and stillness.
Rendered with refined brushwork and tonal subtlety, the scene conveys both immediacy and quiet reflection—hallmarks of Chizik’s approach to capturing nature’s fleeting light.

Framed Size: 12.5 x 13 inches
Signature: Artist signed
COA: Includes Gallery Letter of Authenticity

A small yet deeply evocative study that showcases Chizik’s exceptional skill in translating light, color, and atmosphere into timeless visual poetry.
