From the Past to the Future, Artwork by Oleksii Koval

In December, the Ukrainian Museum-Archives will host artwork by Oleksii Koval, an artist from Kyiv, Ukraine. Experienced in painting, frescoes, stained glass, among other mediums, Mr. Koval brings his enamel work to Cleveland for the first time with his exhibit From the Past to the Future.

“For a long time I looked for the most appropriate technique which would help me to bring to life my ideas in harmony with my affections. Destiny brought me to the hot enamel workshop of Ivan Kyrychenko in 2006. I immediately realized that this was what I was meant to do and continued investigating hot enamel methods till 2009 in private workshops in China, India, and the EU.”
