The oil painting titled "Shark" is a compelling underwater scene that captures the serene yet haunting essence of the ocean's depth. It portrays a man submerged in the blue expanse, his body positioned diagonally across the canvas, creating a dynamic composition. The man appears to be free-diving, moving gracefully and seemingly unafraid, his gaze directed upward towards the light filtering through the water's surface. The painting's palette is a symphony of blues, from the pale, almost translucent hues that touch the man's skin to the deeper, darker tones that suggest the ocean's unfathomable depths. Hints of green and purple add a touch of the ethereal to the water, suggesting the presence of marine life or the play of light through the water. Flanking the diver are shadows and shapes that resemble underwater flora, stretching towards the light, creating a sense of motion and life. In contrast to the title, there is no immediate visual of a shark, which adds a layer of tension and suspense to the scene. Instead, the presence of the shark may be implied by the man's cautious glance and the ominous shadows that lurk in the painting's depths. The use of light and shadow is masterfully executed, with the man's body highlighted by the sun's rays, accentuating his form and musculature, while the surrounding water remains a mysterious and potentially dangerous backdrop. The artist's signature is discreetly placed, not to detract from the overall impact of the scene. This painting is not just a depiction of a diver and the ocean; it is a narrative about the beauty and perils of the underwater world, the courage it takes to explore it, and the respect it demands for its hidden inhabitants.

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..
