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 Insight

The painting vividly depicts the city's elegant architecture submerged under the high waters of the lagoon, symbolizing both the perennial resilience and the increasing peril facing this historic city. Kateryniuk uses a palette of deep blues and reflective lights to emphasize the liquid invasion that turns streets into canals and squares into pools, lending an almost surreal beauty to the scene.
