# About me
Valery Tatar is a Ukrainian graphic artist, a brilliant representative of fantasy art, in which the impossible can be made possible.This is the art of whimsical industrious fantasy and the virtuoso performance sanded by years of experience. Valery studied at the Art Studio of the Ilya Repin Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg.He graduated from the Donetsk Art School In 1990 Valery Tatar, Just like his idol Pavel Filonov, never wanted to follow academic arttechniques. He always opposed them using his own model of a moving world, the world in the process of its formation, when the light still was not separated from the darkness, the earth from the sky, the living from the dead, the human from the animal. During the years of Independent creativity, Valery tried countless different styles and trends in painting, then, eventually, he created his own style, his own brushstroke.
In 2000 his name was listed In the World Encyclopedia of Artists (Munich - Leipzig edition, Vol. 9). Now his works are in museums and private collections in Ukraine, Russia, Israel and the U.S.A.
In his series Metamorphoses, a fantastic and amazing world of monsters is being born just in front of us from the darkness of the night and winding curves of the luminous colorful lines. We gradually discover that biological space of the "fluid forms" and their necessary metamorphoses as the plot of the painting unfolds. All the bizarre and terrible infernal creatures seem the epitome of all human sins and vices. Combining eroticism with mysticism, the artist reminds us that the first sin was that of adultery. All these creatures generated by nocturnal imagination, all these images embody the power of evil forces and are symbols of the mysterious. Night Is not only the time, but also the site of action, the theater of events, if you like. It is not by accident that a theater curtain appears in the painting Full Moon of Chess. It seems to reveal a mystery of the world similar to the unfathomable smile of the Mona Lisa.
