This unique opportunity opens the way for viewers to stop and see the richness of today's colors, reproduced in the creative experiments of the artist in the style of subrealism.

Subrealism is an artistic method in art based on the reproduction of reality. Almost all Ukrainian realist artists touched upon the national question to one degree or another: they revealed the peculiarities of the national character, emphasized the specifics of Ukrainian humour, reproduced folk beliefs and stereotypes, and paid considerable attention to every day and ethnographic details.

Visitors to the exhibition have the opportunity to feel the atmosphere of features of the outside world that permeates each painting, as well as to feel like a part of this amazing artistic world, which helps to understand their own thoughts and aspirations.

The exhibition "Ukraine is WE!" was created not only to enjoy the beauty but also to study the craftsmanship behind the works of art, so visitors can better appreciate the skill and dedication of the artist who worked on the paintings.
