This artwork, titled "Portrait of Ilya," is an evocative piece by the Ukrainian artist Zakhar Shevchuk. It showcases his shift from academic realism towards a boundary where figuration meets abstraction. The portrait is rendered in oil on fibreboard, a testament to Shevchuk’s skill in manipulating textures to bring forth the essence of his subject. The image captures Ilya with a contemplative gaze, the strokes are bold yet intricate, suggesting a depth of character and emotion. Shevchuk's style is evident in the deliberate choice to leave parts of the fibreboard exposed, integrating the raw material into the artwork and allowing the viewer's eye to complete the narrative. Shevchuk, a master’s degree holder and an educator at the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture in Kyiv, is known for his artworks that balance on the edge of recognition and abstraction. His paintings often invite viewers to a visual play, where familiar elements emerge and then dissolve into the abstract, engaging the audience in a perpetual search for meaning. The artwork's palpable texture, the interplay of light and shadow, and the subject's introspective pose are all hallmarks of Shevchuk's unique approach to capturing the intangible aspects of his subjects. This painting not only reflects the artist’s journey through styles but also conveys the personality and emotion of the depicted person, making it a compelling piece for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Art, to me, is a profound exploration of the world that surrounds us - a journey of discovery, experience, and self-understanding. It is a medium through which I unravel the essence of things - their colors, forms, and the interplay between them. I believe in the power of simplicity, in the art of removing the excess and uncovering the necessary, much like a sculptor chisels away at stone. In my paintings, I strive to distill forms to their purest essence, reaching a point where nothing else can be removed without sacrificing meaning. The "necessary" elements, as I perceive them, remain, serving as conduits for my impressions and self-reflections on the subject at hand. My aim is not to depict something specific but rather to transfer the emotions and thoughts evoked by the object onto the canvas. I seek artistic forms that can boldly and vividly capture the essence of these feelings, rather than mere visual representation. In this pursuit, my work often exists on the precipice between figurative and abstract art - place where emotions take precedence over strict visual interpretation. Through my art, I invite viewers to embark on their own contemplative journeys, to interpret the subtleties and engage with the interplay of emotions and forms. Each brushstroke carries the weight of my perceptions, inviting you to join me in this exploration of the human experience. zakhar@klossart.com
