Karlo Zvirynskyi was a famous artist and reformer of art education in Lviv. From 1959 to 1966, he organized an underground art academy based on reviving modernist artistic practices. During the reign of socialist realism, Zvirynskyi was perhaps the only one who returned the "art of progress" to art education. In his works, he developed the idea of a syncretic world. He created tactile abstraction using various materials based on subconscious sensitivity and prayerful meditation. The artist's works are kept in museums in Lviv, Kyiv, Khmelnytskyi, Wroclaw, New York, and Toronto, as well as in many private collections.
Landscapes by Karlo Zvirynsky is a unique world of images that impresses with its laconicism and asceticism of color and form. He admires the beauty of Ukrainian landscapes, experimenting with the effects of lighting and the plasticity of nature, creating a lyrical, emotional image. His monumental and balanced works deeply reflect the artist's spiritual worldview.
