We present the pages of the regular 27rd issue of the

Magazine "Kyiv Diplomatic", which is being prepared for printing

 

Yuriy Vakulenko is a recognized master of the brush and a famous museum curator. The artist prefers painting and art objects and works "on the border" of figurative and non-figurative art. In his work, he boldly steps into "historical territory", establishes a dialogue with the past and turns to canonical artistic images in order to find in them current meanings and reveal hidden ones.
