Original artwork description:

“Summer Shower” (100x100 cm, oil on canvas, 2024) by Zakhar Shevchuk presents a semi-abstract vision of a female figure immersed in water. The scene unfolds in layered washes of turquoise, mint green, and violet, where the contours of the body merge with the cascade of flowing water. This interplay between figuration and abstraction creates a delicate tension between intimacy and universality.

The painting captures the fleeting essence of a summer shower – not just as a physical act of cleansing, but as a metaphor for renewal, vulnerability, and reflection. Shevchuk invites the viewer into a moment where boundaries blur: between body and environment, inner emotion and external perception. The surface carries a sense of immediacy, while the deeper symbolism resonates with timeless questions about presence and the human condition.

For collectors, “Summer Shower” offers both aesthetic beauty and contemplative depth. Its scale and color palette make it a striking centerpiece for any collection, while its layered meanings open multiple avenues of interpretation, ensuring the work remains endlessly engaging.
