“I work from nature and from the everyday objects around me, looking for quiet compositions shaped by light, color, and mood.”
Volodymyr Kovalov
A Ukrainian painter working across still life, landscape, and genre composition. His paintings combine direct observation, classical training, and a warm, expressive sense of color.
