"I've always been curious about how other people see the world. How they see me and how they perceive themselves. Making my artworks has become an opportunity for me to get closer to understanding other people, observing them in the creative process, finding points of intersection." - says Taras Makar.

Taras has been mastering traditional calligraphy, and it helped him to discover the way how arrays of letters combined together can be meaningful and expressive. To better express himself, he often breaks the tradition and introduces other elements, particularly in his work in large sizes. Taras is also keen to collaborate with other artists and illustrators, and lots of his works came into existence as a result of such collaborations.

Master of Arts, Kyiv State Institute of Decorative and Applied Art and Design named after Mykhailo Boychuk.

He always aims to share my knowledge. Since 2018, Taras Makar has been teaching calligraphy and lettering in Projector, the largest creative school in Ukraine.
