Original artwork description:

Mist II (2024, oil on canvas, 120x60 cm) by Zakhar Shevchuk offers a contemplative vision of landscape reduced to essentials. The canvas is almost monochrome, painted in muted greens and greys. At first glance abstract, it quickly resolves into horizon, sea, and sky through minimal cues.

This painting is part of Shevchuk’s Mist series, in which he explores perception. Just as in nature, where fog hides detail, the eye reconstructs what it cannot see. A single line or tonal variation becomes the basis for recognition.

The vertical format sets this work apart, emphasizing depth and forward pull. It feels as if the viewer is standing on the edge of a shore, looking into a space that remains veiled.

Mist II is serene yet charged with meaning. It is a painting about silence, perception, and the fragile threshold between abstraction and reality.
