DUBOVETS SERHII

In 1984 he graduated from Uzhhorod College of Applied Art (Art Metal Department). In his formation as an artist a significant role was played by Pavlo Bedzir and Ferenc Seman - cult figures for several generations of art youth. After college he entered Lviv State Institute of Applied and Decorative Arts, but in a year stopped his training. He was living for several years in Australia, where he found his fans and opportunity to work actively, however eventually he returned to his native Uzhhorod. Having passed through ordeals of the tumultuous 1990s and temptation of stable work, he appeared in real and virtual art environment by turns.

The artist developed his own graphic and picturesque style in which the idea and technique of depicted things create amazing unity. Delicate changings of values and meanings are physically demonstrated by the subtlest shades. Most often his works are the metaphorical expressions of philosophical ideas and experiences, which require abstraction from the reality and specificity, but they catch the viewer sensually and intellectually. His abstract compositions are aesthetically perfect, and graphic works are filigrees. The artist held more than dozen personal and collective expositions in Ukraine, Austria, Italy, the USA, Australia. His works always bring new sound at the art forums, festivals and exhibitions, and his creativity in general belongs to the most interesting phenomena of the modern Transcarpathian art.
