About Zaychenko Georgiy

As a rule, his artistic manner is compared to impressionism. This idea comes to one's mind given his attention to nature, properties of color and light, vivid strokes. But beside impressionists this artist has considerable respect for Van Gogh, early Matisse, Camille Pissarro, Vrubel, Korovin, Nesterov...

There were many roads leading to the Divine. Many are acquainted with his "mature" style, city and sea sceneries, His water-colors have become known to a "wider audience" quite recently. But, unfortunately, only a limited number of people are acquainted with his 1960s works. An average expert on his creative activity would be very surprised to find out that "this is Zaychenko too". It is habitual that he, a landscape painter, has still lives among his works of the years 2000 period.

He is closed up in his own world, and even time goes for him unlike for others. A psychologist would put it in a more concise manner: "A pronounced introvert". Georgiy speaks and communicates in a way different from the way he thinks. After work, only letters can give an adequate presentation of his personality. Even friends of Georgiy do not know him well enough...
