"Rather it would be spring" is a powerful oil painting that juxtaposes human vulnerability with a stark, almost desolate landscape. The composition features a gaunt, shirtless man standing in the foreground, his intense gaze directly engaging the viewer. His expression is one of profound determination mixed with a hint of melancholy, reflecting inner turmoil and resilience. The background is dominated by a muted palette of pinks and purples, creating an otherworldly, almost apocalyptic atmosphere. The sky is a gradient of soft pink transitioning into deeper purple hues, suggestive of either dawn or dusk. The scene is framed by a dense forest of dark, shadowy trees, which adds a sense of confinement and bleakness to the setting. Behind the figure, there are two structures that resemble traditional thatched-roof houses. These houses appear worn and abandoned, with smoke gently rising from one of the chimneys, indicating a lingering presence or a recent departure. The ground is sparse, with patches of dried grass and bare bushes, further emphasizing the harshness of the environment. In the midground, there are two anti-tank obstacles, which add an element of war and conflict to the scene. These obstacles serve as a stark reminder of the underlying tensions and struggles that are part of the man’s reality. "Rather it would be spring" is a deeply evocative painting that explores themes of survival, resilience, and the longing for renewal. The title itself suggests a yearning for change and the hope that comes with the arrival of spring. The man's defiant posture and intense gaze reflect a determination to endure despite the bleak surroundings. The juxtaposition of the human figure with the desolate landscape and war remnants can be interpreted as a commentary on the human condition, particularly in times of conflict and hardship. The painting invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences of struggle and hope, and the desire for a better, more peaceful future. This oil painting masterfully combines elements of realism and surrealism to create a poignant narrative. "Rather it would be spring" captures the essence of human endurance and the perpetual hope for renewal. The artist’s use of color, composition, and symbolism creates a powerful and thought-provoking piece that resonates on both an emotional and intellectual level.

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..
