In these works, the artist continues to develop the symbolic system central to his practice. The circle, the bird, the female figure, and the cross reappear not as illustrative symbols but as archetypal forms — signs that exist beyond specific time or context.
Cardiomachia — a term coined by the artist, literally “the battle of the heart.” In this project, Zorkin reflects on love and death in the time of war. Ancient motifs echo the shattered landscapes of Ukrainian cities, while personal experience becomes the ground for a new myth.
At the crossroads of myth and history lies a cycle of graphic works by Ivan-Valentyn Zadorozhnyi dedicated to The Tale of Igor’s Campaign — a masterpiece of Kyivan Rus literature. These works reveal to the viewer a little-known page of Zadorozhnyi’s oeuvre.
