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.

Narrative and Symbolism

At the heart of the painting is a child, seen from behind, walking with an oversized umbrella that trails behind on the ground. The burnt orange coat, much too large for the small figure, hints at the child's attempt to grow into roles and responsibilities that seem too vast to handle. The deep blue umbrella, oversized and unwieldy, symbolizes protection and perhaps the burdens inherited from family figures, likely the child's father, as the title suggests.

Surreal Elements and Symbolism

Behind the child, a procession of stylized elephants adds a layer of depth to the canvas. These elephants, painted in a frieze-like manner, symbolize wisdom, memory, and the lineage of family heritage that the child carries forward. This motif of heritage is juxtaposed against the child’s struggle with the umbrella, illustrating the balance between legacy and individual growth.

Atmospheric Details

The painting's background is muted and textured, designed to resemble a wall or curtain, focusing attention on the central figures without distraction. A fine-detailed plant in the foreground contrasts sharply with the broader strokes used elsewhere, illuminated subtly to add a magical touch to the scene. The ground sparkles with tiny lights, enhancing the dreamlike quality of the artwork and suggesting a path lit by stars or sparks of imagination.
