A beautiful colourist, Lomykin was a master of media. The majority of his works are done in oil, watercolour and pastel. In his pastels, he attains a highest degree of mastery; his bold strokes skillfully shape the form and his colour is rich in the intensity of tone. A great lover of life, Lomykin lived and breathed painting, and he left behind an enormous heritage, making a significant contribution to the glory of Ukrainian Art. |
