Volodymyr Sydoruk

“When Volodymyr Fedorovych opened to me his new sketches and started telling about his plans, I listened to him quietly as his ideas were so imaginative, colorful and full of historic reality. …Volodymyr Fedorovych dreamed about huge exhibition halls, museums where he could hang many big canvases on different Ukrainian themes”

- Bogdan Gavata, the Artist, Uzhgorod, Ukraine -

“Among several thousands of works of Volodymyr Sydoruk there is a series of canvases that impress with their special, extremely beautiful and complicated coloring, not guessed or on purposed veiled or unclear to the artist plot… As we can see the topics of the artist are indefinite, extraordinary. They are connected with romantic and philosophical deepening into the originality both of the folk and historic plan. With trying to reach (and almost permanent sure in impossibility of that) secrets of the legend, narration plots, the most mysterious ideas of poetic and historical topics, and there is a sincere, assertive and beautiful deepening in beauty and difficulties of the color harmony. The work by itself becomes a precious stone and shimmers with depth of unexpected colors and shades.” (Volodymyr Pidgora. Immensity of the Talent and Ability to Work//Culture and Life. -December 16, 1998)

“He was a wide, kind person, he was keen, hostile and in general a perfect man. He was a little strange, as he was an artist, all his life was only work, work that he lived with... From this point of view, he was like a child who needed mother and human protection. His life wasn’t easy, everyone wanted something from him…”
