Artwork Description

“Symphony in Summer” is an original oil on canvas by Paul Chizik, exquisitely framed and rich with the lyrical plein-air energy that defines his work.

Chizik is a classically trained Canadian painter celebrated for his mastery of traditional European techniques and his deep commitment to painting directly from life. His ability to translate natural light, movement, and atmosphere into emotionally resonant landscapes has made him one of Western Canada’s most respected contemporary realists.

In Symphony in Summer, Chizik captures a radiant summer day where warm breezes animate the landscape. Golden grasses sway in the foreground, leading the viewer’s eye toward a calm river shimmering under soft, layered clouds. Subtle strokes of red and green foliage add rhythm and contrast, while the horizon opens into a tranquil countryside bathed in natural light.

The textured brushwork and harmonious palette reflect Chizik’s keen observational skill—transforming a simple outdoor moment into a poetic visual symphony of color, gesture, and seasonal warmth.
