Woman of the Rain: A Cursed Painting by Svetlana Telets
The Woman of the Rain by Svetlana Telets.
In 1996, Ukrainian artist Svetlana Telets created a strange painting of a woman in the rain. She has sold it several times, each time it was returned due to the unsettling paranormal activity it brought with it.
Svetlana Telets and the Woman of the Rain
Svetlana Telets is a Ukrainian painter who specializes in surrealistic and abstract art. She was born in 1973 in Odessa, Ukraine, and studied at the Odessa Art University named after Grekov. Telets has participated in numerous art exhibitions and has won several awards for her work. Her paintings are known for their dreamlike quality and vibrant use of color.
Svetlana remembers that six months before she created the infamous 'Woman of the Rain,' she had this persistent, creepy feeling of being watched. But she brushed it off and kept doing her thing. One bright, sunny day, she sat down in front of a blank canvas, wondering what to paint. Suddenly, she saw the image of a woman forming in her mind, clear as day - her face, colors, and shades. It was like magic! She painted the main part in just five hours, almost as if someone was guiding her hand. And then she spent another month refining it until it was just right.
Upon arriving in Vinnytsia, Svetlana exhibited her painting at a nearby art salon. As she displayed her work, art enthusiasts approached her and shared their thoughts that resonated with her experience during the creative process.
Svetlana recalls that it was fascinating to witness how a concept can come to life through an object and influence others in such a subtle and meaningful way.
Buyers Return the Woman of the Rain to Svetlana Telets
The first buyer, a lonely businesswoman, hung the painting in her bedroom, but soon regretted it. She felt like someone was watching her and couldn't sleep, even after removing the painting from the wall.
The second buyer, a young man, thought the painting would look great in his living room. But he soon regretted the decision and brought it back to the artist. He was willing to pay half the amount just to be rid of it. He claimed that the woman in the painting haunted him, appearing every night and following him like a shadow.
The third buyer thought he had seen the painting before and was sure they would get along. But he was wrong. The white eyes of the woman in the painting seemed to follow him everywhere, and he felt like he was drowning in them. He returned the painting to the store.
Svetlana believes that every painting comes into being for a specific person, and that there is someone out there for whom her "Woman of the Rain" was painted. But beware, for those who buy this painting may find themselves haunted by the woman in the rain, and the sadness in her eyes.
Theories About The Haunted Painting By Svetlana Telets

A Ukrainian journalist reached out to the church for comment on what could be causing the paranormal experiences associated with the “Woman of the Rain” by Svetlana Telets.
Father Vitaliy Goloskevich, a priest of the Transfiguration Cathedral in Vinnytsia and a candidate of theological sciences, believes that art can be either spiritual or soulful. He specifically refers to the painting being discussed as soulful and believes that it does not come from God. He cautions potential buyers to pay attention to their feelings and aftertaste before purchasing any work of art. According to Father Vitaliy, an artist imbues their mood at the moment of creation into the work, and it is unknown who or what may have been guiding the artist. Even if the painting were to be consecrated, it may not help if something unclean was involved in the creation.
It is possible that the reputation of the “Woman of the Rain” preceded it in a way that caused the buyers to attribute strange things happening around them to the painting. The power of suggestion could have lead to them seeing and hearing things that weren’t there. Perhaps the painting opened them up to seeing the paranormal world which was there all along.
