Crossing the Rainlight is a vibrant rainy city street painting by Lada Kholosho, made with acrylic on canvas. This one-of-a-kind artwork captures a fleeting moment in the city: a solitary figure walks through rain, umbrella in hand, while glowing lights reflect from the wet pavement.

The color palette includes deep blues, purples, bright pinks, and warm yellows. These tones blend to create movement and atmosphere. Kholosho uses bold brushstrokes to suggest motion in both the figure and the surrounding city.

In contrast to the blur of the background, the figure appears grounded and calm. This creates a balance between solitude and movement. As a result, the painting evokes both introspection and energy.

Kholosho’s technique blends abstraction and impressionism. The layers of paint create a textured surface. Meanwhile, fragmented shapes and reflections suggest passing cars, windows, and other pedestrians—without defining them fully.

Because of its small size, this painting fits easily into personal spaces. However, it still carries visual and emotional depth. It’s ideal for collectors who enjoy expressive urban scenes or rainy-day moods.
