About the Item

Artist: Oleg Kateryniuk Work: Original oil painting, handmade artwork, one of a kind Medium: Oil on Canvas Year: 2023 Style: Contemporary Art Title: This Silly World Size: 53.5" x 35.5" x 1'' inch, ( 135x90x3 cm) Unframed, Stretched on Wooden Bar, Gallery Wrapped, Ready to Hang "The Way to Water" is a mesmerizing oil painting that captures a captivating moment in time. This evocative portrait tells a tale of wonder and curiosity through its skillful composition and enchanting subject matter. The focal point of the painting is a little boy, perhaps around six years old, depicted with delicate brushstrokes that emphasize his innocence and youth. He is descending a grand, ornate staircase, his tiny feet placed carefully on each step as he navigates the descending path. The artist's mastery is evident in the intricate details of the boy's clothing, revealing fine textures and subtle color variations. The backdrop of the painting showcases a breathtaking, surreal landscape that contrasts with the boy's realistic portrayal. A shimmering, tranquil body of water stretches out beyond the staircase, its surface reflecting the soft hues of the setting sun. The water's ripples and undulations are beautifully rendered, creating a sense of movement and fluidity. The reflection of the staircase on the water's surface adds an intriguing element of visual complexity to the composition. Floating gracefully above the water is a mesmerizing jellyfish, its ethereal appearance adding an element of dreamlike fantasy to the scene. With delicate, translucent tendrils trailing behind it, the jellyfish glows with an otherworldly luminescence. Its presence seems to infuse the painting with a touch of magic, inviting viewers to contemplate the intersection of reality and imagination. The overall atmosphere of "The Way to Water" is one of serene wonderment, inviting viewers to explore the mystery of the moment. The play of light and shadow, coupled with the boy's innocent expression, conveys a sense of curiosity and awe. As the young boy descends the stairs towards the water, one can't help but wonder what lies ahead on his journey and what the significance of the jellyfish may be—perhaps an emblem of guidance or an emissary from a fantastical realm. In "The Way to Water," the artist has expertly intertwined the realms of reality and fantasy, inviting viewers on a contemplative journey into a world where imagination knows no bounds. This remarkable portrait is a testament to the power of art to capture fleeting moments and to spark the imagination of those who gaze upon it. * CONDITION: we tried to convey the maximum information with the help of photos about this product 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.. Note: For International order (Out of the USA) I'll ship it rolled in a tube. All works are copyrighted, and all rights are reserved by the artist. Thank You! Lot 3240T35
