Description

A small white paper boat floats beside a dense meadow filled with grasses and scattered wildflowers. The surrounding vegetation is painted in deep greens, teal, and near-black tones, while red, pink, white, and blue flowers appear as small flashes of color against the darkness.

The image reflects the uncertain journey between a place that has been left behind and another that has not yet become home. The paper boat embodies both fragility and the willingness to move forward. For the artist, it also carries memories of childhood, loved ones, and freedom — what remains with us even when countries and horizons change.

The meadow plants symbolize living roots. They connect the work to the past, but also to the possibility of growing in a new place. In this sense, the artwork treats home as something that can be carried inward and gradually rebuilt rather than something defined only by geography.

The visual contrast between the isolated boat and the abundant vegetation gives the work its quiet emotional force. It is both a landscape and a reflection on memory, movement, and belonging.

For collectors who respond to symbolic contemporary art and themes of travel, transition, and identity, Between Two Shores offers an intimate and visually atmospheric image with a clear personal foundation.

Materials: Oil on canvas.

Shipping / Display: Ready to hang. The artwork is shipped in a protective box.

Colors & Shades

Deep forest green, emerald green, moss green, bright leaf green, teal, turquoise green, blue-green, charcoal black, soft black, pale sage, muted gray-green, white, ivory, magenta, crimson red, hot pink, violet, pale blue, cornflower blue, yellow.

This artwork is suited to collectors who are drawn to symbolic landscapes, poetic contemporary art, and works about memory, belonging, transition, and personal resilience. It may especially resonate with people who have moved between countries, built a life somewhere new, or experienced the complicated feeling of carrying one home while trying to grow roots in another.

Between Two Shores would work particularly well in a bedroom, living room, study, reading room, hallway, office, or quiet contemporary interior. Its dark green and teal palette pairs naturally with wood, cream, warm gray, charcoal, linen, brass, and muted earth tones.

Nat Derevyanko, Between Two Shores | Paper Boat in a Night Meadow
Italy  • 1976

Presentation

Nat Derevyanko is a Ukrainian visual artist based in Avezzano, Italy. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including a solo exhibition at Distinction Gallery in Escondido, California, and projects in Italy, Ukraine, and the United States. Her biography is included in the Encyclopedia of Modern Ukraine. Derevyanko is a member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine and the Union of Designers of Ukraine.

She studied Graphic Design at the Ivan Trush Lviv College of Decorative and Applied Arts and Sacred Art at the Lviv National Academy of Arts. She has worked as a visual artist since 2001 and is a Professor of Design at Khortytsia National Academy in Zaporizhzhia.

Working as a narrative symbolist, Nat explores displacement, vulnerability, belonging, memory, and the loss of home. Her visual language draws on the symbolic structures of sacred art while moving them into psychologically charged contemporary narratives.

Childhood is a recurring lens in her paintings: innocence and imagination coexist with anxiety, early fears, and emotional wounds that persist into adult life. Following the war in Ukraine and her displacement to Italy, the idea of home gained new urgency in her practice. Through symbolic and imaginative imagery, Nat Derevyanko considers how personal memory intersects with collective experience and how vulnerability can become a space for resilience and transformation.
