A sun-drenched café tableau unfolds in Venice Scene by Kim Tkatch, where checkerboard tiles, a grand piano, and gondolas drift through a dreamlike waterfront. This original oil painting (20” x 24”) captures the warmth and intimacy of European leisure with saturated color and lyrical detail — from the yellow tablecloth to the red umbrella’s shade. Tkatch’s brush invites you into a moment of music, conversation, and timeless charm.

Born in Ukraine in 1963, Kim Tkatch studied Fine Arts at the Kiev Art Institute, graduating in 1988. He later immigrated to Israel, where his style evolved from mystical symbolism to richly realistic scenes infused with magical flair. Tkatch’s work is known for its romantic intimacy, sun-filled exteriors, and decorative juxtapositions — often blending architecture, sculpture, and Mediterranean vistas. His paintings offer a vibrant, illustrative take on everyday beauty, from Venetian canals to floral still lifes
