The Oil painting Canvas titled "So scare a dove" captures a fleeting, emotionally charged moment suspended between fear, surprise, and the fragile beauty of life in motion. At the center of the work, a young woman with dark hair and expressive features is depicted with her mouth slightly open and her hands stretched outward in a gesture that suggests both alarm and yearning. Her blue blouse and casual stance root her firmly in the present, making her appear almost as an archetype of modern humanity suddenly confronted with a raw, instinctual experience. The tension in her arms, the urgency in her wide-eyed gaze, and the slightly windblown strands of her hair suggest a sudden and unexpected encounter that startled her into movement. Soaring in front of her, three doves take flight across the pale, expansive sky, their wings spread wide as they move away from the source of disturbance. Each bird is rendered with careful attention to the rhythm of motion, their feathers catching light with delicate shades of gray and blue. Their sudden escape feels like a direct reaction to the girl's presence, as if her movement or perhaps her inner turbulence startled them into flight. The doves themselves are not merely ornamental; they carry symbolic weight, representing peace, innocence, and fragility. The fact that they are fleeing adds layers of meaning, suggesting how easily peace can be disturbed, how innocence can slip away, or how beauty is often fleeting and beyond one's grasp. The stark contrast between the girl and the birds forms the emotional and compositional heart of the painting. Her expression is ambiguous, straddling the line between fear, longing, and wonder. This ambiguity is where the canvas achieves its power, inviting the viewer to project their own emotions and experiences into the scene. The background is kept minimal, a vast wash of pale blues and soft gradients that evoke the openness of the sky. This sparseness serves to highlight the figures in the foreground, focusing attention on the dynamic interaction between girl and doves. The emptiness around them underscores the fleeting, transitory nature of the encounter. There are no distractions, no anchors to a specific location—just sky, movement, and emotion. This deliberate simplicity creates a sense of universality, allowing the scene to resonate as a symbolic moment rather than a literal one.

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..
