The art exhibition ‘Unconquered Borderlands’

On 2 August 2024, the Shostka Art Centre in Shostka, Sumy Oblast, hosted the opening of the art exhibition ‘Unconquered Borderlands’ as part of the All-Ukrainian art project ‘Unconquered Ukraine’.
During the exhibition, 90 participants presented 190 works, united by the goal of showing the indomitable heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people in their struggle against the enemy.
The meeting was attended by the vice-president of the National Academy of Arts of Ukraine, artist, honoured worker of culture of Ukraine, associate professor Yurii Vakulenko, who noted that the Academy supports such projects that demonstrate the resilience of compatriots: «This exhibition uses art to show the spirit of those cities that were the first to suffer barbaric aggression. But this did not break the powerful inner strength of our people.» The National Academy of Arts of Ukraine also awarded the Mayor of Shostka, Mykola Noha, with the Grand Silver Medal.
The exhibition was organised by the National Union of Artists of Ukraine.

Niagara Falls. The rainbow colours of a natural wonder

In this painting, I tried to convey the power of nature through an expressionist-style depiction of a waterfall. Bright, contrasting colours create a sense of dynamic water flow crashing onto rocks, filling the space with energy and power. The image conveys a sense of lively movement and emotional tension, reflecting my impressions after visiting the famous waterfall. The painting invites the viewer to immerse themselves in the world of nature, full of power, beauty and constant movement.

I started this painting in August 2024, immediately after visiting Niagara Falls. But circumstances forced me to leave and leave the painting in the United States. Almost a year later, I was able to finish it. I relived the impressions of this magnificent sight and tried to transfer these impressions onto the canvas. I think it turned out quite well.

Chestnut. Multiplication of thorns

Kiev chestnuts! This tree is a symbol of Kiev, its visiting card and has been closely associated with the city for almost two centuries. In spring, during flowering, the trees fill the city with amazing aroma and beauty of their flowers. In summer they give the inhabitants shade and coolness. And in autumn — give their fruits, which take captive parks, squares, pavements, and in some places even roads.

The Ice Cream Mirage. I want that!

There’s actually no ice cream in the hand. It’s a big ice-cream advert outside a restaurant. And it is the hand of a child, who wanted to eat ice-cream, reaching out to it from the car. It’s like forbidden fruit and a special effect at the same time.
