Art Victory
Volodymyr Glukhomanyuk

Oil on canvas
What does Victory mean to us? What can be a symbol of Hope and Faith? In this painting, it is a white yacht with dynamic forms. It is not a warship; it is a snow-white vessel reflecting the tranquility of a cozy harbor, a symbol and realization of a just Victory. Behind it, in the background, lies everything we protect: cities, homes, land, nature, God (the cathedral) — our Life, in the eternal motion of Nature under the Sky, on Earth, and at Se
Passion for ships and boats has accompanied me since childhood and throughout my life. That is why I prefer marine themes in my work. The presentation of the exposition includes many picturesque series, including: romantic seascape, industrial landscape, historical reconstruction in thematic series: STEEL GIANTS, MUSEUM SHIPS, FISHING BOATS, LIGHTHOUSES, OCEAN LINERS AND FINE ARTS, GOLDEN AGE…
For me, ships and boats are living creatures, each with its own character. Therefore, some canvases can be identified as portraits of certain ships with their own history. They say that there is a lot of steel and masculine energy in my marine series. Yes, it’s true! Dynamic design, contours of hulls, majestic superstructures of tankers, cruisers, steamships, sailboats, fishing boats – everything has aesthetically complete forms that have always inspired marine artists!
My marine painting is a tribute to sailors, ships, engineers, volunteers, and everyone who served and continues to serve in the navy.
