Volodymyr Kostirko

During his student years, he founded and published the self-publishing house Kremniuk, whose literary core was made up of members of the Lviv group LuGoSad.

He works in the style of “new old masters”. Since 1994, he has been an author and participant in group and personal projects in Ukraine and abroad.

Kostyrko's often grotesque figurative painting is an attempt to artistically adapt historical figures into the “parameters” of contemporary perception, which the artist accomplishes in the style of the “new old masters”.

According to Viktor Neborak, Vladimir Kostyrko is “a homicidal mixture of monarchism, anarchism and Catholicism”.
