Boats.
Oil on canvas, 32” x 36”
by Volodymyr Podlevsky (Ukraine)

Three boats rest among scattered stones on a shallow shoreline—two nestled together, one drifting apart. Podlevsky’s textured brushwork and vivid palette transform this quiet scene into something surreal and symbolic. The boats, rendered in bold reds, greens, and whites, evoke themes of passage, memory, and solitude. Earthy tones and murky water suggest a dreamlike stillness, where time feels suspended and meaning floats just beneath the surface.
