Mykola Koidan

In my paintings, I try to share my emotions and mood, and also pictures from my life that I enjoy. My goal is to show that with all this speed of the modern world, it’s sometimes worth stopping and enjoying what we already have. And I really like to combine detailed and realistic portraits with rough impressionist brush strokes for the background (environment). This way, I kind of give a wink to my audience that the surrounding world is illusory and it’s worth appreciating and exploring ourselves more.
