Having travelled extensively throughout the former Soviet Republics, I came to the realization that the majority of talented artists have not been given  full recognition  in their homeland and that  their enthusiasm and love for their  art has been largely ignored.  In order to rectify the present situation, a group of enthusiastic people from Sumy (Ukraine), Moscow (Russia), London and Southampton (UK)  have come together to create this website whereby  all artistic work could be equally presented regardless of the styles, colours or medium used in their art.  Thus this website will offer an opportunity for everyone to keep in touch with East European art.  Fuelling the imagination will be a constant theme of this project.  New works of art of both well-known as well as newly discovered artists will be regularly introduced to you to showcase the development of new perspectives and ideas, and provide you with insights into the progress of East European art at present time.

The current collection is diverse, varying from contemporary works with some elements of experimentation up to the more traditional or classical where all forms and shapes are expressed in a more subtle manner by the artists’ own interpretation of reality. However, despite the evident differences seen  in  all styles and approaches used by different artists from different schools, one will no doubt notice that there are still inevitable similarities present across all the paintings. The most prominent  theme is  the artists’  unconcealed love of Beauty and a strong longing to convey this Beauty through simple mediums such as  brushes and canvases and, of course, through their deep understanding and appreciation of art at large.
