The oil painting "Double Senses" presents a thought-provoking visual narrative, featuring two identical female figures engaged in a mirrored interaction with a central plant. The figures are seated on the ground, their bodies turned towards each other, creating a symmetrical composition. They are clothed in dark, form-fitting attire that contrasts with their pale skin, which is rendered with meticulous attention to the play of light and shadow, emphasizing the three-dimensionality and sculptural quality of their forms. Each figure leans back, supporting themselves with their arms, while their heads are tilted upwards in a posture that suggests contemplation or introspection. Their expressions are serene and introspective, suggesting a deep connection or communication with the plant that grows between them. The plant itself is an intriguing element, depicted with elongated leaves that reach upwards and outwards, as if in response to the figures' attention. The leaves are painted with a sense of realism and detail that contrasts with the more muted and abstract treatment of the background and the figures’ clothing. Behind the plant and the figures, a pale square serves as a backdrop or a window, framing the plant and adding a layer of depth to the scene. The square's placement suggests a portal or an alternate dimension, adding to the painting's surreal and enigmatic atmosphere. The background is textured, with a neutral color palette that allows the figures and the plant to stand out. It's as if the background is a weathered wall, or a vast, undefined space that fades into the distance. "Double Senses" evokes themes of duality, reflection, and the relationship between humanity and nature. The painting invites the viewer to consider the ways in which we mirror and respond to the natural world, and how our inner selves are reflected in our outer experiences. The title itself suggests a multiplicity of interpretations, encouraging a deeper engagement with the visual clues laid out by the artist.

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..
