Volodymir Fechyk, Impressionist

Like so many of the eastern European artists exhibited at Alessandro’s, this 36-year-old  Ukraine native was enrolled at age 10 at the Children’s School of Art in his home town of Mukachevo.

At 15, he was enrolled in the Ukraine’s State School of Art in Charkov, which was established for the most talented pupils.  Among those, he achieved the highest grades for technical and artistic skills.

After graduation he returned to teach at the Children’s School.

At the age of 22 he migrated to Prague in the Czech Republic, where the early stirrings of a free, artistic culture were emerging, and most of his impressionist work depicts life in the City of Spires.

Fechyk (pronounced Fess–sick) is married with a daughter, and studies eastern philosophy, especially those relating to the cultures of India.
