Yurii Novytskyi – the world seen through the prism of bas-relief

Mr. Yurii, welcome to Luxury Products! We are excited to work with you. I would like our clients to learn more about your artistry. That’s why I’ve prepared 15 questions that will help us discover what lies behind the beautiful bas-reliefs you offer on our Platform.

Where does your passion for art come from?

– Since childhood, I have loved art, beautifully drawn paintings, and bas-reliefs

What plays the most important role in your work?

– In my work, the main focus is on creating the details of the image

Where do you draw your inspiration from?

– I draw inspiration from various sources – it could be an interior I’ve seen online, a detail on the exterior of a car, or an element on the façade of an old building. It happens in many different ways

A favorite and respected artist, not necessarily a sculptor?

– For me, a great example is the Ukrainian designer Katerina Antonovich. I love her approach to interior design

Your bas-reliefs/paintings — which art movement do they belong to?

– My reliefs are classic reliefs in art, but I plan to give this direction a modern twist by combining old techniques with new ones. You will definitely see this in my upcoming works.

The three most important events that inspired you as an author?

– The first event that inspired me was a visit to the Mykola Syadristy Museum of Miniatures in Kyiv. The second was a trip to our Ukrainian holy site, the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra. Such a beautiful place! 

The third one was a trip to Wrocław. I really enjoyed the old town, the churches, the little streets, and the overall atmosphere of the city

Where would your paintings fit best, where could they be displayed?

– My bas-reliefs are perfectly sized and can serve as decoration for the living room, bedroom, lounge, study, or office

What do you want to stand out for?

– I want to stand out with a fresh approach to classical art and by introducing new technologies

Childhood for me is?

– Childhood, for me, means carefree days, new discoveries, and a constant sense of joy

Where am I heading in my creative work?

– In my work, I always strive to bring people joy and a sense of comfort

The most groundbreaking moment in my career

– The most pivotal moment in my career was moving from Ukraine to Poland for permanent residency

Where do I want to be in 5, 10, 15 years?

– I don’t want to guess—only God knows where I’ll be in 5, 10, or 15 years

Who are my paintings dedicated to?

– I want my paintings to be enjoyed and appreciated by the widest possible audience

Favorite era?

– Favorite era: the 1990s

Luxury for me is?
