On June 24, 2017 it was presented a personal exhibition of an artist, carver, chairman of the Mukachevo Creative Association "Rainbow" Serhii Pishkovtsii in the Mukachevo Children's Art School named after Munkácsy Mihály. The exposition is timed to the jubilee date - the artist's 60th birthday.

A dozen works of easel painting of Mukachevo artist were presented in the school building. This is mainly landscapes and urban landscapes, painted in watercolour and oil. The paintings are made in the style of traditional realistic painting. According to the author, the exhibition has already visited the neighbouring region – Ivano-Frankivsk art gallery, Kolomyia. 
"Painting is a distraction for me," the author of the exposition admits. – I paint mostly when the inspiration comes. It happens the other way round - sometimes I just force myself to paint. Sometimes we gathered with colleagues in groups and go to the plein air. Most of the works of this exposition come from there: landscapes and city sceneries of Mukachevo, Mizhhiria, and Rakhiv region."
In addition to painting, the artist is engaged in wood carvings and creates iconostases that decorate churches and temples throughout Ukraine, as well as abroad. "What can be seen today at the exhibition is only a small part of what I'm working on," S. Pishkovtsii said. – Almost for three decades I’ve done a lot: many church items (icon cases), I was engaged in the restoration of icons, painting, gilding of iconostases. This autumn in Mukachevo there will be a large exhibition of these works. In addition, I paint also still lifes, there is an abstraction too."
For many years, the artist heads the Creative Association "Rainbow", which organizes exhibitions, plein airs and creative vernissages both in regional centres of the country and abroad.
The artist's works will be exhibited in the hall of the Art School for two weeks.
