From a young age, Dmitry Oleyn found drawing as a gateway to an intense inner world. Fascinated early on by colors, materials, and the play of light, he naturally turned to painting, which he has since explored with passion and consistency. His style, marked by a post-impressionist aesthetic, plays on thick textures, luminous contrasts, and vibrant shades. Each canvas is an invitation to contemplation, inner peace, and even a form of meditation.
A recognizable and unique artistic signature
Oleyn creates unique works, refusing to reproduce anything. For him, each painting must be an original, charged with its own energy, capable of transforming the space it inhabits. This approach reinforces the authenticity of his work and the emotional value of each creation. His painting is not merely decorative: it aims to convey a vibration, a warmth, a kindness. He claims that his canvases convey “a feeling of strength, harmony, and unknown love.” And it shows.

The call of the sea, the breath of the wind
Water is omnipresent in Dmitry Oleyn's work. Calm seas, vast skies, solitary sailboats: everything evokes a world suspended between dream and reality. In Sea 034 (2023) , for example, the thick brushstrokes that draw the clouds contrast with the soft reflections on a still sea, while a sailboat moves gently forward under a pink sky. In Seascape 01 (2024) , the warm light of a summer sunset envelops two sailboats in an almost magical atmosphere. Finally, with Sea 06 (2023) , Oleyn captures the fleeting moment between night and day, in a composition where shades of blue and purple blend into a sea with pearly reflections.
