Two colors are mine Painting

Painter. I’ve been fulfilling myself as a painter for decades as I think that only indifferent man makes no attempts to reproduce this beautiful world. Fine art helps to some extent to get closer to a spiritual world. My work includes stained-glass windows, cold encaustic wall painting and painted reliefs. My author’s style combining a realism that covers the surrounding reality, post impressionism, expressionism with revealing of main natural forms, decorativism and monumentalism, art nouveau smoothness, and dreaminess of romanticism. Many works represent several themes or picture elements. Beautiful, coloristic Ukrainian nature expresses our people’s mentality, love for the beautiful and harmonious, and of course, a rein to passions and actions. I love the world around as the nature is wonderful and mysterious at the same time. It may dispose to philosophical meditations, helps to think over the essence of our existence and to see the God in simple things. By combining paintings and ministry in Saint Sophia Cathedral where I am a senior priest, and communicating with the faithful I assure myself that the entire surrounding, starting from a man, ant, the most tender stem, everything is the God’s creation. All proceeds from paintings sale will be spent on a church construction and publication of a religious gazette “Z Bogom y Serdtsi’, whose editor I am, Anatol Kornin is an art director, Anatol Shulyavsky is a script editor. My works are represented on all continents, in the largest financial centers of the world, as well as in private collections: from the South America, for example, Sao Paulo, the North America, Europe, India, Africa, and Japan. My work includes more than 10 000 easel works; I lose count as I don’t fix where my works are.
