Leontiy Sergeevich Pidgayko. MY ARTS !

PAINTER, WHO LIVES AND CREATES NEAR US Leontiy Pidhaik’s art is realistic in essence. However, the realism of the Ukrainian artist is always involved in the poetic perception of the world. Leontiy Serhiyovych poetizes his small world - his native Prysamarya. On his paintings we see the most beautiful corners of the city and its environs, villages, steppes, and, of course, Samara - a river that our ancestors called holy everything that comes into the field of view of the artist, acquires a poignant romantic meaning - the energy of the artist’s love for his native land is transmitted to the works, and through the works to the viewer. It doesn’t matter when this or that work was written - in the early seventies or a week ago. Time is receding, something else is interesting: the state of nature, its mood, which the artist has captured and swept away forever on the canvas. Together with Leontiy Pidhayk you rediscover the land - amazingly beautiful in all seasons. The images and themes chosen by the artist are not as arbitrary as they may seem - the painter greedily seeks harmony and moves forward, enriched with ideas and images. The energy of color sometimes becomes hard - perhaps this is how nature responds to the unconscious desire of the artist to merge with it. The land itself has always given energy to our talented compatriot. Leontiy Pidhaiko never writes “from the head“ or “from the imagination“ - only from nature. Working hard and fruitfully, he reached the level of mastering the formal principles of art, which most artists only dream of: Leontiy Sergeyevich writes from nature not just temperamentally, but also quickly - having time to capture short-term states of nature - for example, sunrise or sunset. A certain part of the artist’s artistic heritage is still lifes, first of all flowers. It seems that there are no flowers in our region - field or garden, which Leontiy Pidhaiko would not immortalize in his paintings. The artist’s attitude to the object, to the material details, is respectful - they seem to be full of secret, symbolic content. His subject arsenal is very large and, at the same time, simple. I want to have his paintings at home, I want them to become a part of life. This is how the Painter lives and works next to us. To the attention of collectors: unique paintings by the Ukrainian master Leonty Sergeevich Pidgayko can be purchased in the form of NFT.
