1. SERHIY SAVCHENKO
“The art is an instrument of coopertion
of human and time. Timeis identical
to art because they botheist gratefully
to the human`s imagination. My time
is limited while my art has no borders.
All my work is a marker of existence
between two illusions: art and time.”

5. “The art of Savchenko is if anything
an art of contrasts. Light and darkness,
the figurative and the abstract and the
perceived reality and the world of fan-
tasy are only a few of the contrasts that
are brought into a harmonious
co-existence in as well the portraits
as the paintings of landscapes. The
means used to obtain this is dynamic
compositions performed in strong
colours brushed on he canvas in thick
layers combined with few figurativeand
often elements of transparency…”
Kinga Santus “Kunstavisen”,
Denmark
