Zakhar Shevchuk's "Wisdom" is a profound expression of his artistic evolution, capturing the essence of age and insight through an expressionistic lens. Painted with oil on fibreboard, this portrait conveys the depth of human experience, as seen in the weathered visage of the subject, a piece born from the artist's academy years. Shevchuk's strokes are bold and deliberate, with a rich palette that suggests the accumulation of life's complexities. The subject's gaze is rendered with a contemplative intensity, hinting at a lifetime of knowledge. The thick application of paint and the interplay of light and shadow across the features accentuate the emotional weight of the piece. Shevchuk's expressionistic approach here is not just about portraying a person, but about evoking the intangible qualities of wisdom that only time can bestow. As a young master and educator at the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture in Kyiv, Shevchuk has moved his work from academic realism toward a unique intersection of figuration and abstraction, which is evident in this piece. "Wisdom" resonates with viewers, inviting them to reflect on the journey of aging and the dignity it carries.

Art, to me, is a profound exploration of the world that surrounds us - a journey of discovery, experience, and self-understanding. It is a medium through which I unravel the essence of things - their colors, forms, and the interplay between them. I believe in the power of simplicity, in the art of removing the excess and uncovering the necessary, much like a sculptor chisels away at stone. In my paintings, I strive to distill forms to their purest essence, reaching a point where nothing else can be removed without sacrificing meaning. The "necessary" elements, as I perceive them, remain, serving as conduits for my impressions and self-reflections on the subject at hand. My aim is not to depict something specific but rather to transfer the emotions and thoughts evoked by the object onto the canvas. I seek artistic forms that can boldly and vividly capture the essence of these feelings, rather than mere visual representation. In this pursuit, my work often exists on the precipice between figurative and abstract art - place where emotions take precedence over strict visual interpretation. Through my art, I invite viewers to embark on their own contemplative journeys, to interpret the subtleties and engage with the interplay of emotions and forms. Each brushstroke carries the weight of my perceptions, inviting you to join me in this exploration of the human experience.
