Fata Morgana is a constantly changing images, transferred from the imagination of the artist to the canvas. Landscapes, still lifes, flowers, ancient colonnades and arches, rocky shores overgrown with bizarre plants, sea waves in perpetual motion — this is Fata Morgana of Valery Zakipny. The exhibition presents the unsteady and wonderful world of the artist, where reality transforms into fantasy and is captured in the eternity of Art. At the exhibition, painting lovers will enjoy the light and optimism of Odessa architecture paintings of past years, the landscapes of the Odessa rocky coast. The sea and flowers, park painting — everything convey the unique flavor of our city and the inexhaustible love of the artist for beauty and admiration for the surrounding nature. Valeriy Zakipny’s paintings outline the theme of spirituality, emphasizing the diversity and creativity of the master, who over half of a century is working on the theme of eternal values. ​​The eternal values have been so deeply exciting to humanity since the beginning of its existence.
