Big Water Venice (2019) Original Oil Painting by Oleg Kateryniuk

Kat27
Oil on canvas artwork “Big Water Venice” depicts a playful moment in a flooded Venetian street where a boy runs through rising water in front of a quiet building facade. Two tall windows with green shutters and flower boxes frame the scene, while climbing plants stretch across the white wall above. The boy splashes through the water with raised arms, capturing the spontaneous energy of childhood.

The inspiration for the composition reflects a familiar scene in Venice when the city is temporarily covered by high water. Instead of focusing on inconvenience, the artwork transforms the moment into a joyful experience. The boy’s movement, the splashing water and the calm architecture create a contrast between the stillness of the city and the lively presence of the child.

The painting is created with oil on canvas using soft light and delicate details that emphasize the textures of water, stone and greenery. The windows, plants and flower boxes add warmth and life to the architectural setting, while the rising water becomes both a visual reflection and a playful element within the Venetian atmosphere.
