"The woman and her cat" Sculpture

The creative output of Ihor Bereza is a hymn to simplicity and moderation of forms, to depth and laconism of an image. Almost without light, bringing to a minimum any exterior factor, the painter creates an integral monolithic picture, which combines strength and inner dynamics. The paintings by Ihor Bereza are akin to a dormant volcano. They combine both firmness and strength of the spirit, not a superfluous-decorative, but rather a genetic rethinking of the national character. The author succeeds in depicting the image development with the help of complication of simplification of the graphic-relief filling of the piece of work. He bravely varies the expressive ceramic means, which helps to strike the spectator’s interest nerve. Ihor Bereza’s works are filled with exquisite aesthetics, which can be perceived only by heart.
