The oil painting on canvas titled "Chasing the Rain" captures a dynamic and thought-provoking scene that juxtaposes youth and adulthood, playfulness and responsibility, innocence and ambition. The composition features two central figures: a young boy on a scooter and an older man in a business suit, both in motion, as if engaged in an unspoken race against time. The boy, clad in a casual blue sweater and dark pants, has a determined yet playful expression. His small hands grip the scooter tightly, his foot pushing off the ground, propelling himself forward. His youthful energy is evident in his posture—leaning slightly forward, eyes fixed ahead, and his tousled blonde hair moving with the momentum. The scooter, a simple and familiar childhood object, becomes a symbol of freedom, unburdened by the constraints of the world around him. In stark contrast, the man in the suit appears to be running, his body tilted forward, arms swinging with urgency. His suit jacket billows behind him, mirroring the movement of a man constantly in pursuit—of time, success, or perhaps something long forgotten. His face, lined with experience, shows a mix of determination and strain. Unlike the child, who is effortlessly gliding, the man is grounded in the weight of his reality, his dress shoes barely keeping up with his frantic pace. The background is a muted gray, textured like an unfinished wall, creating an abstract urban setting that lacks specific details, reinforcing the sense that the figures are moving in an undefined space. This emptiness serves to highlight the contrast between the subjects, emphasizing their journey rather than their destination. The rain is not explicitly depicted, yet the painting's atmosphere evokes the sensation of chasing something intangible—an idea, a dream, or time itself. The composition cleverly suggests multiple interpretations. On one level, it represents the simple contrast between childhood and adulthood—one filled with play, the other with responsibility. The boy, unburdened by expectations, moves forward with natural ease, while the man, possibly chasing his past, seems weighed down by invisible pressures. The title "Chasing the Rain" evokes a sense of longing, perhaps for a time when life was simpler, or for the pursuit of something fleeting, like childhood joy or unfulfilled dreams.

Presentation
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..
