Dmytro Paruta

Dmytro Paruta (1948) — is a Ukrainian graphic artist and painter, a well-known figure in the Lviv art scene, and a collector. His style combines realistic elements with modernism, focusing on color, form, and symbolic imagery. Through folkloric motifs and spatial composition, he conveys the connection between humans, nature, and traditions.

The artwork Dzembronia is a mood-driven study of a Carpathian landscape featuring horses. Painted in an impressionistic manner, it employs textured brushstrokes and a nuanced interplay of colors.

The Carpathian village of Dzembronia became the "mecca" of Lviv modernists as early as the 1960s. While immersed in this progressive artistic community, Dmytro Paruta explored the semantics of the Carpathian region through plein-air studies and an in-depth study of folk art. His works from this period are distinguished by their emotional intensity and profound meaning.

This painting captures the power of nature and the depth of traditions, evoking a sense of living energy and cultural continuity.
