Volodymyr Odrekhivskyi

Volodymyr Odrekhivskyi (1955) is a Ukrainian sculptor, educator, and art historian, a professor at Lviv National Academy of Arts and a foreign member of the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences. He has held over 50 solo exhibitions in Ukraine and abroad. Odrekhivskyi's style evolved from Soviet modernism of the 1970s, through neo-romantic explorations of female imagery in the 1980s–1990s, to conceptual and abstract forms in the 2000s.

«Declaration» is a lyrical sculpture that symbolizes an act of love, openness, and sincerity. It captures a moment of emotional revelation through harmonious, flowing lines and an elegant form. The contrast between the massiveness of bronze and the lightness of the composition creates an effect of balance and sophistication.

The late 1990s marked a period of deeper exploration of human emotions in Odrekhivskyi’s work. His sculptures from this time demonstrate a combination of expression and equilibrium, where material and form reflect the idea of harmony.

This sculpture stands out for its refined form and profound emotional content. It serves as a symbol of love and spiritual purity, creating a special atmosphere and complementing any space harmoniously.
