The painting "Rainbow After the Rain" captures a breathtaking moment in nature, where a vivid rainbow stretches across the sky after a passing rainstorm. The artist masterfully uses bold brushstrokes and a rich, textured palette to create a scene that feels both dramatic and serene, highlighting the beauty of light breaking through the clouds. The sky dominates the upper half of the painting, filled with dark storm clouds in shades of gray, blue, and purple. The textured brushwork in the clouds conveys a sense of movement and turbulence, hinting at the recent storm. Despite the ominous clouds, a bright, multi-colored rainbow arcs across the sky, symbolizing hope and renewal. The rainbow is painted in soft shades of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet, standing out against the moody sky and adding a sense of magic and wonder to the scene. In the middle ground, a dense line of trees and foliage separates the sky from the field below. The trees are painted in deep greens, blues, and browns, with hints of orange and yellow where the light filters through the leaves. The play of light and shadow in the trees creates a sense of depth and dimension, making the landscape feel alive and vibrant. The foreground features a vast golden field, painted in warm tones of yellow, orange, and ochre. The thick, textured brushstrokes give the field a dynamic, tactile quality, suggesting wheat or grass swaying gently in the breeze. The light from the breaking sun reflects off the field, creating a warm, golden glow that contrasts beautifully with the cooler tones of the sky and trees. In the lower left corner, two figures in red clothing are depicted, walking across the field. Their bright red outfits stand out against the golden landscape, drawing the viewer's attention and adding a human element to the scene. The figures appear to be walking toward the rainbow, symbolizing hope and a journey toward brighter days. The vibrant reds and oranges used for the figures create a sense of warmth and vitality, enhancing the emotional impact of the painting. The ground beneath their feet is painted in a mix of earthy browns, greens, and purples, adding depth and grounding the composition. The subtle variations in color suggest the presence of flowers or rocks scattered throughout the field, adding visual interest and detail. The artist's signature in red is visible in the bottom left corner, harmonizing with the warm tones in the foreground. The painting "Rainbow After the Rain" is a powerful and uplifting depiction of nature's beauty and resilience. The contrast between dark and light, storm and calm, and warm and cool colors creates a visually striking and emotionally resonant composition. The artwork captures a universal moment of hope and renewal, reminding the viewer that even after the darkest storms, light and beauty will return. It is a celebration of nature's wonders and the human spirit's enduring hope.

Oksana Ivanyuk, Rainbow after the rain
Ukraine  • 1964

Presentation

Oksana Antonivna Ivanyuk is an outstanding artist from Poltava, Ukraine, born on November 9, 1964, in the village of Zorya, Rivne region. Her talent and love for art manifested from a young age, and she decided to dedicate her life to creating marvelous paintings.

Oksana Antonivna obtained a higher education at the N. Samokish Crimean Art School, where she was mentored by eminent artists H. Kurylenko and V. Hryhoriyev. After completing her studies, she actively developed her talents in the field of painting, focusing on realistic-style landscapes and still lifes.

From 1989 to 2008, Oksana worked as an art teacher at the Pyriatyn School-Gymnasium of Aesthetic Education in Poltava Oblast, where she imparted her knowledge to her students and instilled in them a love for art.

As an active member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine since 2010, Oksana participated in various exhibitions, both at the national and international levels, earning recognition for her talent and mastery.

Oksana Ivanyuk held solo exhibitions in Kyiv, Lubny (Poltava Oblast), Pryluky (Chernihiv Oblast), and Poltava, where she showcased her profound and emotional works. Among them are "The Last Snow. March" (2002), "Flood" (2005), "Silence" (2006), "The Last Ray," "Christmas Cathedral" (2008), "Autumn," "Kalyna on the Table" (2010). Her artworks can also be found in the National Art Museum and the Museum of Cultural Heritage in Kyiv.

Residing and working in Poltava, Oksana Ivanyuk embodied her artistic ideas in striking canvases that convey her inner awakenings, feelings, and emotions. Her art always captivates and leaves a sense of profound harmony with nature and the surrounding world.

After graduating from the N. Samokish Crimean Art School, the elder generation of Ivanyuks, Oleksiy and Oksana, founded their own art school in Pyriatyn, a small town in Poltava Oblast, which they supported financially for over a decade. Growing up under the influence of classical art, the couple favored working from nature, depicting classical still life and monumental canvases, with the secret of their compositional and dramatic strength lying in the use of naturism as their core philosophical concept.

In Oleksiy Ivanyuk's Poltava landscapes, there is a greatness in simplicity, a view of ordinary suburban landscapes as wonders that are no longer accessible to the average resident of a metropolis. Fauvist colors and impasto techniques are applied by the master to enhance expressiveness, while thick brushstrokes emphasize the form and relief of the depicted objects. Familiar places, houses immersed in green gardens, boundless steppes, fields, forest glades, and streets become lyrical abstractions and reach the level of aesthetic reflection, reflecting the author's sensory perception of the world.

In Oksana Ivanyuk's vibrant floral still lifes, baroque polyphony is embodied, which is why seemingly secondary elements become the main elements of the composition. Her lush bouquets are universal floral images of binary culture, with a variety of meanings that correspond to the main higher needs of existence. For Oksana Ivanyuk, reproducing flowers is always a display of personal experiences, a demonstration of her own attitude towards life situations, and the image itself becomes a symbol of beauty and harmony.

Both artists, Oleksiy and Oksana, have a unique approach to their craft, infusing their works with emotions, insights, and reflections on the world around them. Their dedication to preserving and promoting art is evident through their art school, where they pass on their knowledge and passion to the next generation of aspiring artists. Their creative endeavors continue to leave a lasting impact on the art world, inspiring viewers and fellow artists alike with their powerful and evocative works.
