GLASS PAINTINGS

by Native Ukrainian Artist

Yaroslav Adamovych

Yaroslav Adamovych was born in 1962 in a picturesque site near Shevchenko grove, located near the Museum of Folk architecture in Lviv. He spent his childhood there and  here he still lives and works, adsorbing the beauty of his homeland and majesty of the gray headed Leopolis (Lviv in Latin). He is a completely self taught artist, working in various genres of art: graphics, oil painting, design, book illustration, mini art forms. For the previous 20 years, he has preferred to work in reverse glass painting. Glass painting is typical for many countries of the Carpathian region, namely, Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Slovakia. In the past, the subjects were mostly of a religious nature.  However, he has been developing his own unique style and technique, combining both graphics and oil paint which allows him to represent complex compositions with clear details on a smaller scale. Currently Yaroslav Adamovych has extended his themes to include vivid traditional Ukrainian folk rituals, amusing scenes of everyday Ukrainian life, floral designs as well as religious themes on his paintings.  The Artist actively works with Art galleries in Lviv and throughout Ukraine, as well as with private collectors of his art. ATU has had a long time relationship with Yaroslav since the very beginnings of our company.

The outline of the drawing is created  by the artist. 
This outline can be used again for another painting, 
however the successive paintings can be significantly
different due to the painting process to follow.

INKING OF THE GLASS

Glass is placed over  the paper drawing. Using a 
special ink and quill , the artist traces over the drawing.
