Mykola Tregub was a Ukrainian painter, a non-conformist, and a bright representative of the Kyiv underground of the 1970s. The main topic of his works is the understanding of human existence in disturbing conditions. Moreover, the artist supported the idea of freedom of expression and the search for his own style.
The tactile textures of the painting ‘My Thoughts’ reveal the author's special sensitivity. Trehub refers to the lines of Taras Shevchenko and translates his feelings into the artwork. The artist gives us the opportunity to see the Ukrainian landscape from a new angle - the position of a bird. He is concerned about the fate of Ukraine and expresses his excitement with a white torn shirt, which becomes a symbol of Trehub's personal presence in the piece.
