On August 22, 2024, Oleksandr Dubovyk, a Master of Ukrainian avant-garde, painter, graphic artist, and muralist, was awarded the national honor of “National Legend of Ukraine.”
This prestigious title is granted to remarkable individuals who have made significant contributions to the development of Ukrainian culture—those among us whom we should deeply appreciate, those celebrated around the world. It is a title for legends who achieve the impossible and inspire others.
Oleksandr never sought awards; rather, the freedom to pursue his passion, to remain independent of any group or artistic direction, was always his greatest reward. Yet, recognition is essential—for both admirers and artists alike.
We are delighted that the well-deserved “National Legend of Ukraine” award has finally found its hero!
