Not Lost Wings (2023) Original Oil Painting by Oleg Kateryniuk

Kat32
Oil on canvas artwork “Not Lost Wings” depicts a young girl standing in a quiet urban space while delicate wings extend behind her shoulders. She wears a simple white dress and looks forward with a thoughtful and slightly shy expression, her hands raised near her face. The surrounding background is filled with soft tones and handwritten text that covers the walls and ground like quiet echoes of thoughts.

The inspiration behind this composition reflects the poetic idea suggested by the title — wings that are not lost, even when hidden. The girl appears fragile yet determined, standing between childhood and imagination. Her wings symbolize inner strength, hope and the invisible ability to rise above difficulties, while the surrounding words create an atmosphere of memory, reflection and emotion.

The artwork was created using oil on canvas, allowing gentle transitions of light across the dress, wings and background. The soft palette emphasizes the delicate figure at the center of the composition, while the layered text and urban setting deepen the narrative of wings that remain present even when unseen.
