The dense world in which Yuriy Bolsa and the characters in his paintings exist, in this work “You Can't Fly Above the Clouds”, depicts the closedness of existence in one's own fears and paranoia of being trapped — the artist depicts prickly concrete elements at the highest level in the painting, which do not allow his character to rise, so to speak, ‘above the sky’. What you exist in is a burden. What you are made of contributes to this situation of confinement — there is a kind of sense of doom, in which personal actions matter little, as the constant feeling of limitation does not leave.
The deliberately saturated colours and the character's resemblance to a defaced cartoon character contrast with a story that lacks a happy end.

Yuriy Bolsa's Art Style
His artistic practice began with self-inflicted imprisonment in the apartment, which lasted for 6 years. So, the artist works with personal stories, dominated by loneliness, self-destruction, and research of the surrounding society through the prism of alienation.
After moving to Kyiv, the artist began to work more with socio-political problems that resonated with his injuries. The main direction is the theme of destruction and changes that lead to the emergence of something new. His works also include a big project about his hometown, Sheptytskyi. The main concept is glorifying this place, and at the same time, it serves as a series of self-portraits.
