Taras Loboda

Taras Loboda's masterfully composed and executed artworks range from sensual female acts and portraits to dreamy waterscapes full of colour play. The new figurativeness predominates, even if abstractions lighten the mood in some places. Unexpected pictorial disturbances or impasto painting grounds create an extended level of observation that goes beyond the motif. Taras Loboda masters the play of light and shadow between realism and impressionism. The artist's palette seems inexhaustible. He creates his paintings in oil, watercolour, sepia and with graphic techniques.
Taras Loboda graduated from the Academy of Arts in Kiev (Ukraine) in 1985 and trained at the renowned Atelier Zaretzky. He has lived in Prague since 1997 and has exhibited his work in galleries in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Slovakia, Lichtenstein, the United States and France. Taras Loboda runs an artist's gallery in the heart of Prague.
