The Oil painting Canvas titled "Rabbit in the maze" is a work that masterfully combines surrealism, symbolism, and social commentary, inviting the viewer into a layered dialogue about childhood, freedom, and the cyclical nature of human existence. At the very center of the composition stands a bright pink, geometric rabbit, rendered in sharp, angular facets reminiscent of origami or digital modeling. Its striking color and artificial form immediately contrast with the muted, gray-toned surroundings, making it a focal point of vitality and difference amidst a bleak, repetitive environment. The setting of the painting is a corridor-like structure that seems to extend infinitely, depicted through a series of receding rectangular doorways that form a hypnotic visual rhythm. This architectural maze is devoid of warmth or individuality, its monotone palette emphasizing confinement and repetition. The endless perspective suggests a philosophical reflection on life's patterns, the cycles of choices, and the search for escape from systems that seem predetermined. The rabbit, positioned within this sequence, becomes both a symbol of curiosity and an outsider who interrupts the uniformity of the structure with its vibrant presence. On either side of the painting, two identical boys ride tricycles in opposite directions. They are rendered in grayscale, their expressions serious, almost strained, which contrasts with the usual associations of joy and playfulness tied to childhood. These figures, nearly mirror images of one another, highlight the idea of endless cycles and futility—the boys appear trapped in perpetual motion without progress, echoing the mechanical repetition of the maze itself. Their presence suggests the struggle of youth within societal constructs, where innocence and play are overshadowed by monotony and preordained paths. The juxtaposition of the pink rabbit and the grayscale children intensifies the symbolic meaning of the work. Rabbits are often associated with agility, instinct, and escape, as well as vulnerability. Here, its geometric, artificial design underscores the paradox of being both alive and fabricated, a creature of imagination and rebellion against the rigid, lifeless walls. It may represent hope, imagination, or the possibility of breaking free from the endless maze, while the boys embody the weight of routine and the pressures of conformity that can suppress creative freedom.

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..
