In the realm of contemporary art, Kseniya Rai, born in Ukraine and now based in Portugal, stands out for her profound exploration of water as a central theme in her works. Rai's art has found its way into over 250 private collections worldwide, reflecting its universal appeal and the deep connection it establishes with viewers.
For Rai, the symbolic and spiritual dimensions of water are paramount. Inspired by the vitality and timeless flow of water, she integrates these themes into her compositions with striking depth and tranquility. Living close to the ocean, Rai draws inspiration from its vastness and energy, incorporating these elements into her artistic expression.
Rai's canvases often feature people and a variety of subjects suspended in space, frozen in moments that transcend time.
These figures serve as anchors within her compositions, surrounded by hues of blue and cyan that symbolize not just water, but also life, purification, and the flow of energy. By melding these elements with archaic imagery and ethnic colors, Rai creates a dialogue between ancient and contemporary cultures, offering viewers a glimpse into universal themes that resonate across boundaries of language and tradition.
While Rai's exploration of water as a central theme may evoke comparisons to David Hockney's iconic swimming pool paintings, Rai's approach is distinctly her own. Her vibrant color palette and textured application invite viewers to delve beyond the surface, uncovering deeper narratives of time and vitality. Both artists share a fascination with the interplay of light and water; however, Rais work resonates with a sense of timelessness and spiritual depth that sets her apart in the contemporary art scene.
Kseniya Rai's art invites viewers to contemplate the profound connections between humanity and the natural world.

Presentation
Kseniya Rai, a contemporary artist whose footprint in art is becoming increasingly assured. Kseniya feeds her muse with experimentation and is not afraid to radically switch approaches to creativity and stylistics. The only thing that remains unchanged is working within series and creating her own micro universes in which the artist plays out increasingly complex constructions and interrelationships.
Now Kseniya focuses on the analysis of shapes, colour, simple combinations, in more complex compositions. Neo-cubism, surrealism, her usual elements of abstraction, the eternal themes of interaction in personal relationships, relationships between people, as an all unified and interconnected organic whole, but something that reflects the modern era of technologisation, the active integration of AI, the rapid progress with which our society is now imbued. It is as if we are at the crossroads of two epochs and we have not yet decided what we want more, to preserve tradition and authentic canons or to plunge wholeheartedly and boldly into new technological worlds, where in the future, perhaps, we will come to space flight, we will have cures for diseases that are incurable now, we will be able to replace worn-out parts of our body with mechanical ones, where we will be puzzled by completely new questions about humanity and ethics. And while this may scare some people, for the artist it is a direct inspiration. There is something divine and sacred about it, it's like playing with invisible matter on the subtle plane. Kseniya's plots are filled with mythology and complex psychedelia. And it seems that the author doesn't do it deliberately, laying down and programming the reaction, she is like a guide who unconsciously decodes the images in a more understandable way. There is a certain understatement that is a mystery and makes you ask questions. It is not a typical classical cubism, which seems to have no ways of development, it is an exceptional author's rethinking and search for a new way in painting. The artist's strong point is the fullness of the series, when there is not even a chance for a scrupulous, sort of exhausted invention of the plot, due to which a similar lightness in the narrative is achieved, when the plots flow from one to the next canvas. It is reminiscent of the well-written structure of a book or a piece of music, where the whole painting is perceived not as a separate element but as a single harmonious organism. It is as if Kseniya has something to say and she simply speaks without indulging in reflection, with inexpressible ease. She speaks simply because she cannot keep silent, without imposing her personal leitmotif. Again, it is as if she is a transitional step towards a new style or a new pictorial universe, and the viewer is left with an involuntary curiosity to watch this flow, like a phantasmagoric story from a direct line of mouth.
