Valeriy Skrypka
Valeriy Skrypka was born in 1964 in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine into a family of artists. He graduated from the Kyiv Academy of the Arts with a Master's Degree in art in 1992. Skrypka synthesizes images from his Ukrainian past with his own perceptions in imaginative and fully realized works of art that are true to contemporary experience. The artist exhibits nationally and in Europe. What counts in Skrypka's art is not simply his subtly accented exotica, or even the haunting psychological impact and distorting visual reality of his forms, even as his polished technique enhances their surface beauty. Most impressive is his synthesis of apparently random and disjunctive contexts. He says, "In my creativity, I aspire to interpret the inconceivableness of the universe, in which chaos wondrously coexists with the magnetism of an orderly rhythm … These are definite symbolic markings for guessing the mystery of the world, a temptation to contemplate.” Valeriy Skrypka is represented by Rich Timmons Studio & Gallery, 3795 Route 202, Doylestown, PA; 267-247-5867; www.3795gallery.com.
