Sergey Voit completed his training at both the Lugansk Art Academy and the Moscow State Academic Art Institute (V. I. Surikov). He specialises in church painting, having worked on projects such as All Saints Church in Crimea and Nativity Church in Severodonetsk.
He is also a master of all painting techniques. He also has extensive knowledge of gold painting, ornamentology, sculpture and monumental painting.

«My goal is to inspire people to appreciate the beauty in the simplest things, to perceive subtle nuances, and to convey their emotions through painting. Every brushstroke is a step towards self-expression, and every colour is a feeling brought to life. Through my work, I aim to teach techniques and help children discover their own style, inspiring their creativity and encouraging them to let their imagination run wild.» - Sergej Voit (Wojtkewitsch)

Eduard Shymkiv lives and works in Ukraine. Sacred art is an important part of his work. Church and icon painting shaped his technical precision and deep understanding of spiritual imagery.
Following the Russian invasion of 2022 and the subsequent occupation of Mariupol, Shymkiv was forced to flee the city. During wartime, art became a way for him to heal, process, and start over.
In his work, he combines psychological and emotional portrayal with the symbolism of Old Masters, surreal elements, and existential motifs. He addresses themes of reconstruction, inner strength, and human resilience, especially in times of war, which are impressively expressed in his works.

«My inspiration comes from simple yet profound sources: coffee, British rock music, silence, clear thoughts, and hope for a bright future for humanity. I have a particular affinity with the works of old masters such as Ostade, Teniers and, of course, Salvador Dalí. Among contemporary artists, the visual worlds of Mark Ryden and Zdzisław Beksiński influence me. For me, art is not an escape, but a journey. It is a space in which I process experiences, losses, resilience and hope. In times of war, art has become my anchor - a silent language through which I paint light, even where darkness reigns.» - Eduard Shymkiv

Ihor Trotsky completed his education at the Art School and Art College in Kyiv, as well as the National Academy of Arts of Ukraine. In his work, he explores historical and cultural heritage.
Combining traditional motifs with a strong awareness of academic painting, he creates harmony between the past and the present. Trotsky works with oil on canvas, tempera, and mixed media. He also incorporates his experiments with color design to further develop his artistic vision.
This approach gives his works a unique, expressive touch.

«For me, painting is not just a profession, but the meaning of life. Born in Kiev, I have spent most of my life abroad. There, I drew inspiration from the cultures, histories, and artistic traditions of various countries. I work in the styles of classicism and realism, combining different techniques and experimenting with color combinations. Viewers can sense the spirit of the Middle Ages and the mastery of old European painters in my paintings. Each painting is a journey through time, allowing viewers to experience the atmosphere of bygone eras and appreciate the delicacy of lines, depth of colors, and power of light and shadow. For me, painting is a language through which I communicate with the past to inspire the present.» - Ihor Trotsky

Viktor Goryaev (Krywyj Rih, Ukraine) is known as "the Artist with the Golden Brush" and "the Ukrainian Klimt." A master of imagination, he lends magic to the canvas, bringing the unmanifested worlds of images, dreams, and emotions to life. When the invisible begins to dominate, his unmistakable artistic signature is revealed. Goryaev becomes a mediator between worlds, operating at the interface where the invisible shapes the visible and the inner guides the outer. Viktor Goryaev reveals his unique perspective on the beauty of people and the world through his paintings.

By combining realistic and decorative painting techniques and using a variety of materials, he has developed his own distinctive artistic style. His work reflects a synthesis of various art historical movements, from the Pre-Raphaelites to Art Nouveau. Another focus of his work is experimental contemporary art, particularly monochrome paintings with gold and silver leaf. Goryaev has participated in numerous international exhibitions. His work can be found in private collections in Ukraine, Europe, and the United States.
