Art

Volodymyr Garbuz's genre is diverse and technically multifaceted. He works in portrait and easel charts, easel painting and monumental art. His works are characterized by the synthesis of pagan traditions and spiritual heritage of the legendary pre-history period of Ukraine and its Christian culture. This characterization is especially clearly seen in the genre of landscape, e g. the cycle Nearby Dnieper, which is not a landscape in the traditional sense but a symphony of expression and color.

The artist has repeatedly said that the Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko is an important subject matter of his life, and this claim is reflected in works relating to Shevchenko and his poems, including the oil compositions: "Catherine", "Reburial genius", as well as many book illustrations.
