Days became longer, painting by Olga Kvasha.

 

Kateryna Kosianenko

 

Kateryna Kosianenko is a Ukrainian  painter who's paintings have merged traditional icon style painting with modern life. Now they are icons of war, incredible paintings that smash together the beauty of icons with the realities of living in a war torn country a potent juxtaposition 

Olga Shtonda

Pigeons book by Olga Shtonda.
I truly love this book, even though I have no idea what the story is about. I think it's because I love pigeons, I like the noise they make, I love their plumage, their courtship and simply their companionship in our towns and cities where most creatures have been excluded by human activity.
But Olga's illustrations are wonderful complex sequences and beautiful marks, design and style. Lovely!

Oleksandr Shatokhin II

Oleksandr Shatokhin's sunshine to start the working week. I adore Olesandr's loose flowing line and his use of print and collage.

Oleskandr Shatokhin II

A Tom Thumb again from the imagination of Ukrainian illustrator Oleskandr Shatokhin

Julia Pilipchatina I

Ukrainian creative Julia Pilipchatina has created this beautiful stag beetle band using print and digital imagery. Julia also makes beautiful ceramics and very polished graphic/ digital illustration work. This image appealed because, I love stag beetles and it shows more of the hand that created it.

Anna Sarvira I

I adore illustrated alphabets and this is delightful, by Ukranian illustrator Anna Sarvira.

Artem Krepkij III

Artem Krepkij's sketchbooks are a wonderful glimpse into other lives caught moments of everyday life made exceptional by the fact that Artem has turned hand to capture them. Creating an amazing documentary of his life and times.

Svetlana Rumak I

The painting of Svetlana Rumak are full of autumn textures and colours. Svetlana is originally from the Ukraine and she works in painting, photography, graphics and illustration. 

Artum Tolstukhin

Artum Tolstukhin is my third Ukrainian artist this week, again he works with a thick impasto and in an almost impressionistic style. He only graduated from the Kharkov State Academy of Art and Design in 2011 and yet his work has a quality that makes it look as though he has been painting for a lifetime.

Vyacheslav Legkobit

 

 

Time for some colour and pattern inspiration from the wonderful Ukrainian illustrator Vyacheslav Legkobit, who could fail to be happy when the bluetits are painting the sky blue? Have a lovely weekend.
