About the Item

Ihor Volkov-Tkachynskyi reinterprets the legacy of El Greco, deconstructing his classical imagery to create a dynamic, contemporary vision. In this work, he breaks apart traditional composition, allowing geometric structures to coexist with raw expression. The faces of the original figures are replaced with masks, emphasizing themes of lost identity and transformation. Through bold color experimentation, the artist balances sharp contrasts with subtle transitions. Movement is intensified by collage elements, lending the piece a layered and multidimensional quality. Painted with oil on watercolor paper, the work carries a distinctive matte texture, enhancing its depth and tactility. Liberation was created in Kyiv during the war, adding an additional layer of meaning—a dialogue between past and present, between historical legacy and personal experience. This is not merely a deconstruction but a search for a new visual language, where tradition flows into modernity.
