One of the plots of paintings by Ukrainian artist Oleg Shuplyak is a portrait of Salvador Dali. But if the great symbolist was destined to see his work, he, for sure, would immediately nervously light a cigarette. At first glance - standard landscapes, the full content of which, precisely, is calculated precisely on the fact that the view is both the first and the second. In Ukrainian huts-mazanka, under thatched roofs, eyes hid. And not simple - Taras Shevchenko. Blacksmith Vakula saddled the devil, and through two silhouettes Gogol's portrait is seen through. Perhaps some viewers will have reason to blame the artist for national isolation, but such bias is of no use. Oleg Shuplyak grew up among such landscapes, and his fantasy from childhood was saturated with similar subjects. Why depict something else when the soul is full of Ukrainian motives?
