I am grateful to the experienced artists and those minutes of communication when they could share their wisdom and skill.
During August, 2017, an unprecedented event in the creative life of the city took place in Vinnitsa - the artistic plein air «The Best Artist». Within the framework of the event there were creative meetings, master classes, exhibitions and a lot of surprises from the organizers and partners of the project.
On the basis of submitted applications, the jury selected 12 artists who participated in the plenary session. This is the Honored Artist of Ukraine Volodymyr Ovrach (Vinnytsia), Evgen Shapovalov (Chernihiv), Svitlana Nechai Soroka (Vinnytsia), Sergiy Zayets (Odesa), Iryna Prokopchuk (Vinnytsia), Kateryna Picalo (Dnipro), Olena Ostrohlyad (Poltava), Vitaly Petrovsky (Kyiv), Olesya Rybchenko (Kyiv), Valentyna Vaskyalite (Kyiv), Olexandr Nikityuk (Vinnytsia), Valentyna Koltanovska (Vinnytsia).
I am grateful to the experienced artists and those minutes of communication when they could share their wisdom and skill.
I am glad to welcome talented Ukrainian artists to your place! After all, the paintings they write not only are beautiful, they live their soul!
I think the contest «The Best Artist» became an example of a similar event and a high school, to which I wish everyone to.
The Plenary in Vinnytsia surpassed all my hopes. Every day was full of events. There were horses and a sauna, and excursions, and restaurants.
The plener came out great! Vinnitsa very impressed with its calm and beautiful landscapes. Writing in Vinnitsa is a pleasure.
The first All-Ukrainian contest of the plenery painting in the 2017 season in Vinnytsia took place at the European level.
I am pleased that there are so many young, talented and contemporary artists in our country.
I am very impressed with the extremely high organizational and artistic level of the «Best Artist of Ukraine» plein air.
An interesting and approach to the selection of participants, through which the contest crossed the boundaries of the city and became truly all-Ukrainian.
An extremely powerful event of national importance took place in Vinnytsia!
The first All-Ukrainian plein air «The Best Artist» was held. It was an entirely new project, nothing like it was in Ukraine.
