About the Artist

Oleg Kateryniuk was born in 1969 in Ukraine.. has made a successful career as a graphic designer.. But, over the years we become more sensitive to people, to nature, to the environment, to everything around us. So something happened, noticed, interested you and sits in you, with its emotions, feelings, its truth and philosophy.. no-no, it does not bother you, just sometimes, as if talking to you, tells your story, pulls your strings souls, and are forced to flee in search of something new, still unnoticed, and very, as it seems at this time, so necessary.. and not only you.. And in such moments you take a pencil, brushes and everything at hand.. and you draw.. being left alone with canvas or paper and your thoughts.

Artistic Narrative

At the heart of the canvas, a Cossack and a young girl, both embodiments of the Ukrainian spirit, stand defiant and scarred. Their naked bodies, marked by the brutal past of invasion and conflict, tell the sorrowful tale of cities and lives marred by violence. Yet, their posture—intertwined and resolute—speaks to a shared resolve to remember and endure.

Symbolism and Emotion

The vivid scars on their bodies are not just wounds but stories of resilience, each a reminder of the pain endured by a nation. The blood that seems to seep from these scars is a stark symbol of ongoing suffering. Holding fragile apple trees, they symbolize hope and the potential for renewal, presenting a stark contrast to the grim backdrop of their experiences.

Visual Impact

Kateryniuk's use of chiaroscuro enhances the emotional depth of the painting. The interplay of shadow and light dramatizes the scene, emphasizing the resilience and burden carried by the figures. The choice of somber colors furthers the narrative of grief and endurance, while subtle hints of green in the apple trees suggest life and hope persisting amidst despair.
