Oleg Chuyko’s paintings speak to the viewer in a language that needs no translation – the universal language of beauty. The artist is in a constant search, experimenting with technique and color, focusing his concentration and talent, trying to connect to his audience. Chuyko succeeds in this connection because he puts himself into a harmonious frame of mind where he can create from the depth of his spirit. The art lover will be pleasantly surprised with the diversity of the themes included this exhibit. The beautiful architecture of ancient castles and the narrow, unforgettable streets of Lviv, the Carpathian Mountains in their rich shades of emerald greens, the vibrant hues of spring blossoms as they unfold, and the sparkling blue of the mountain rivers that spring to life.
