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.

Visual Composition

At the heart of the painting are two symmetrical figures, rendered in a monochromatic gray scale, which stand with their backs to the viewer. The figures are connected by their right hands, delicately holding a transparent sphere aloft. This sphere, a symbol of unity and completeness, is juxtaposed against a stark, vivid red square that anchors the composition at its center.

Symbolism and Color

The red square, striking in its intensity, contains a meticulously painted plant with rich red leaves, bridging the connection between the abstract and the organic. This plant stretches downwards, rooting the celestial in the earthly, symbolizing the life force and vibrancy amidst the otherwise subdued palette. The shadow of this plant stretches across the canvas, adding depth and a hint of realism to the composition.

Themes and Interpretation

The artwork invites interpretation: the interplay between the tangible figures and the abstract geometric forms could represent the dance between reality and idealism, the physical and the spiritual, or the connection between individuals and the universe. The serene yet complex arrangement invites viewers to reflect on the balance and tension between different elements of existence.

Ideal Setting for Display

This painting is a masterpiece that demands contemplation and offers aesthetic beauty, making it an ideal addition to any art collection, whether it be in a home, office, or gallery. It provides not just visual pleasure but a narrative that resonates with contemporary themes of connection and introspection.
