The ocean breathes itself into the cloudrafts overhead
That sail across the skysea bound for land,
Deep inside their silvered frames, simple sleight of hand
Salt to rain
Sweet alchemy
That fills them full of life
They run aground
Where mountains slice their bellies
Like a knife
From their death comes rain
Rebirth
Benediction
For the earth
A trickle first
And then another
Join together
Twine like lovers
And carry mountains piece by piece
Back into sand, back to the beach
From rivers we drink the clear breath of the sea
Deep inside us - alchemy
From fresh to salt, our blood
Our tears
The tides inside us, reappear
The circle closes, the circle spins
It never ends and never begins
As we swim in its body
It swims in our own
Wherever we go
We are always home

I’m Olga Rybalko, a Ukrainian-Canadian artist with a passion for storytelling through art. I was born in Sevastopol, Ukraine, and raised in Vancouver, Canada, and my work reflects this mix of cultural influences. I began by painting landscapes and cityscapes, but over time, I’ve been drawn more and more to narrative art that aims to connect with viewers on an emotional level. My recent exhibitions, "Crimea" (2021) and "Unwritten Chapters" (2024), reflect this shift in my focus. "Crimea" explores the personal and historical stories of my homeland, while "Unwritten Chapters" engages with universal human experiences and untold stories. Both projects allowed me to blend visual beauty with deeper storytelling, and it’s important to me that my work resonates beyond the canvas. In my art, I use light, color, and composition to encourage viewers to reflect on their own stories and experiences. I hope that each piece offers something meaningful, creating space for people to connect on both personal and shared levels.
