Rostyslav Zavhorodnii: A Life’s Journey
Rostyslav was born in 1995 in Kyiv, Ukraine. His childhood and youth were spent in Stryi, Lviv region.
In 2019, he graduated from the Mykhailo Boichuk Kyiv State Academy of Decorative Applied Arts and Design, specializing in monumental and decorative art.

Rostyslav Zavhorodnii's Art Style: Union of Color and Form
The artist works in oil and acrylic painting, collage, and hot enamel. In his practice, Rostyslav explores the relationship between the human figure and the surrounding environment. He combines form and color, paying particular attention to simple geometric contours and their interaction with the central figure.
His palette is often structured either through contrasting complementary colors or a restrained monochromatic scheme.
Zavhorodnii seeks to create works in which color, rhythm, and narrative composition do not assert the artist’s authority. Rather than offering direct or didactic statements, he leaves space for open interpretation — not dictating meaning, but constructing a visual environment that invites reflection.
