This master from Dnipropetrovsk is regarded one of the best vytynankars in Ukraine. In his work he unites the art of the vytynanka with graphic arts, making his works special and unique. The main themes addressed by the artist in his work are the kozaks, Trypillia, paganism and orthodoxy. In the 1990s he started his own schools of vytynankarstvo and pysankarstvo. He is currently building a museum of the vytynanka.
