Shadows Of Unforgotten Ancestors II 2014

Oleh Denysenko's 2014 painting, *Shadows of Unforgotten Ancestors II,* depicts a couple standing against a textured background. The figures are rendered with a traditional style, adorned in colorful clothing and standing in a formal pose. The man holds a tool and a small horse figure rests atop his head, while the woman carries a bouquet of flowers. The painting's title, "Shadows of Unforgotten Ancestors," suggests a theme of heritage and connection to the past, emphasized by the couple's traditional attire and the textured background, perhaps representing a sense of history or family lineage. This artwork is a striking example of Denysenko's style, combining realism with symbolic elements to create a compelling narrative.
