Zavadiak Serhii

Serhii Zavadiak was born on 4 January 1987 in Irshava, Transcarpathian region. The artist made his first artistic steps while studying at the studio of the fine arts "Borzhavska Fantasy" (1997 – 2004) under the regional House of Children's Creativity. The first teacher of the future artist was a painter, member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine, Liubov Mykyta. In 2004, a talented young man received a diploma from the 4th International Children and Youth Plein Air in Fine Arts "Silver Bell". In the same year, he entered the Transcarpathian Arti Institute, where he studied at the Department of Decorative and Applied Arts. His teacher was Viacheslav Prykhodko.

He continued to improve his own style at the Department of Monumental Painting of the Lviv National Academy of Arts.

Among the author's masterpieces, there are a lot of landscapes, still lifes, countryside mountains and even sea sceneries. He cannot be considered as a follower of the classical school of Transcarpathian painting, although bright colours of his works obviously point to these origins. His works are extremely emotional, full of the artist’s experiences.

Interesting, as if alive, the architectural ensembles of the artist: his special feeling and skills turn ordinary buildings, houses, courtyards into cosy and charming corners, which one would like to visit. The main thing in all the works is the colour – the master easily combines, it seems, incompatible colours, adds the expression, sets the accents and offer the viewers to plunge into this kingdom of rich tones and halftones. The artist paints mainly with oil and acrylic, he has a number of graphics and likes to experiment with techniques. "I work with different genres, constantly searching for myself, trying something new for me. I look for my own perfect style. While I live, I can learn," he said. Serhii Zavadiak believes that there is no art of the past, as well as there is no art of the future – there is only one art, and it is eternal.

Since 2008, a multiple participant in regional, all-Ukrainian and international exhibitions and plein airs. The works of the artist are in numerous private collections.
