We Are Born With The Same Needs And Desires. We Grow Up And  We Get Desires To Live In Safety, To Enjoy The Respect Of Those Around Us, To Be Able To Express Our Opinion And Make Our Own Decisions. That Is The Reason Why Human Rights And Freedoms Concern Everyone.

Regardless Of Gender, Skin Color, Religion  We Try To Be Heard, Having Learnt Ourselves We Also Have To Hear Others. This Is The Basis Of Equality. The Artist Speaks The Language Of Art In A Special Way And Conveys His Worldview To Others. Thinking About How To Understand Equality We Return To The Origins Of Existence. The Topic That Deserves Special Attention Is The Creation Of The World And, In Particular, The Theory Of The Origin Of Man.

There Are Tons Of Such Knowledge, As Well As Opinions That We Want To Express And Want Them To Be Heard. Through The Lens Of Perception Of Different Theories The Artist Tries To Deliver His Own Understanding Of Equality. Starting To Explore These Topics The Artist Imbued With The Philosophy Of The Stationary State Which Points To The Eternity Of Life.

Territory, Society, Family, Culture, Heritage, Rules And Rituals Have Led To Social Inequality. Everyone Has Their Own Truth. The Artist Does Not Call For The Destruction Or Leveling Of Different Worldviews, Because This Will Create Chaos, And These Paintings, In No Way, Are A Social Protest , They Are An Attempt To Form And Understand One’S Identity And Share This Understanding With Others Through Visual Means Taking Into Account  The  Interlocutor’S Position, Conduct A Dialogue, Not A Discussion.

Because Being Different, We Are Equal.

We Should Not Impose Our Opinion On People. Only In This Case  We Get Chances To Be Heard. This Can Become The Key To A Successful Dialogue, The Newest Language Of Dialogue Will Arise In The Society.

Being A Famous Icon Painter, The Author Conveys  In His Works His Own Vision Via The Prism Of Symbolism, Intertwined Themes And Stories, Layering  Time Spaces In Fonts, In Color Symbols, In Elements Of Sacred Images In Combining Ancient Painting Techniques With Modern Changes.

The Blue Color Is The Basis And A Kind Of Core, A Certain Code,  Laying As A Substrate In Every Work Of The Artist. Blue Is The Color Of Space, It Symbolizes Honesty, Kindness, Loyalty, It Is The Color Of An Indigo Person, A Person Of The Future With A Molded Identity. Equality, Mutual Understanding And Mutual Respect Arise When There Is A Dialogue Of Identities.

Ihor Stepanyk’S Works Are Not A Protest But  The Recipe For Uniting Our Society!
