About the Item
In “Games,” Ihor Volkov-Tkachynskyi delves into the ethereal world of childhood memories, reimagining archival photographs of his mother from a children’s theater. The scene, once rooted in reality, becomes an abstract composition where geometric shapes and vibrant contrasts merge into a surreal vision. Children morph into blooming flowers, and amidst them, mythical angels subtly emerge—guardians of innocence and play.
The painting’s rhythmic geometry and contrasting colors reflect the tension between fragility and resilience, while the fluid forms suggest a dreamlike dance. Influenced by Japanese lithography and its flat perspective, Volkov-Tkachynskyi masterfully balances abstraction and narrative, creating a visual symphony that evokes both nostalgia and transformation.
Created during the full-scale war in Kyiv in 2025, “Games” captures a fleeting sense of joy and harmony amid chaos—a tribute to the enduring spirit of childhood and the transformative power of memory.

Spieltrieb - Modern Figurative Oil Painting, Existentialism Art
By Piotr Kotlicki
Located in Salzburg, AT
Kotlicki is a constantly searching artist. Treading his own path, aiming at defining himself, giving his work a clear identity, he came across the avant-garde. He would back off the way, though, reckoning that a particular style imposes some limitations, and the real art is the liberation from the clichés and guidelines. Following this line of thinking, he managed to remain the independent artist, creating plainly under the influence of his own feelings experienced in a certain moment, the influence of certain occurrences.
Kotlicki’s works are texturally rich to great extent. Along with chiaroscuro, the author plays with contrasts, setting flat colour patches with a thick, uneven layer of paint, round shapes with angular ones, oil paint with pastel, realism with non-descriptive painting. In terms of colours, he rather remains dedicated to monochromatism. The different colour appearing at times is to strengthen the effect of the domineering colour scheme. Similarly like in the case of chiaroscuro - it is not a compulsory action, the author remains open for his creative train of thought.
