Old Port is an original watercolor painting that captures the spirit and rhythm of Kyiv’s historic riverside. The composition focuses on the iconic architecture of the old river station, its classical columns and rooftop tower standing proudly against the misty backdrop of the Dnipro hills. With skillful transparency and fluid brushwork, the artist brings to life not only the buildings, but the movement and pulse of the market below. Rows of colorful vendor tents stretch along the promenade, creating a warm contrast to the cool blues and greys of the city structures. Tiny human figures animate the scene, suggesting a day filled with trade, chatter, and daily routines.

The perspective from above offers a sense of quiet observation, as if viewing the familiar city from a memory or dream. The architectural sketch style adds a documentary-like authenticity, while the expressive watercolor technique keeps the atmosphere soft and dynamic. This piece blends cityscape painting with historical storytelling, inviting viewers to explore not only a location but a way of life. A tribute to Kyiv’s enduring character, Old Port is perfect for collectors of city art, architectural sketches, and watercolor works rich in narrative depth and local soul.

Kyiv cityscape seamlessly blends into street-inspired wall art, capturing the essence of the River Station. The delicate watercolor strokes create a captivating piece that invites viewers to explore the vibrant streets and scenic views of Kyiv.

I drew this river station in 2020 in Kyiv. I like to walk past this river station, which stands along the Dnipro River. this promenade is filled with people walking, scooters, and bicycles. Also on the embankment, people like to sit by the river and feed the ducks. There is beautiful scenery. View of the bridges and pleasure boats with people.

Since I love to paint Cityscapes. Of course, I take most of the beautiful places from my travels, because they open my eyes to the beauty of the world, new places, color of the city, architecture, old buildings and much more.

I like to paint more crowded places where meetings or some walks usually take place. More often than not, these are cozy cafes in the atmosphere of the city's urban streets. Of course, I take most of the beautiful places from my travels, because they open my eyes to the beauty of the world, new places, the color of the city, architecture, old buildings and much more.
