Dear Ivan Stepanovich!
Editorial team of the information portal Kyiv1 sincerely congratulates you on your great 90th birthday!
You once said words that became a manifesto for your life and work:
"Give me a thousand years and I will paint the sky!"
Today we see that you have already begun this grandiose path. Your canvases are not just paints, they are vibrations of the Universe, woven into thousands of thin lines of "plyontanism" that connect the hearts of Ukrainians with eternity. For us, the people of Kyiv, your presence in the city is a special honor, because you make our Kyiv not only the capital of the state, but also one of the centers of world art.
On behalf of our entire team, we wish you:
-
Steel healthso that your hand continues to remain confident in every stroke;
-
Peaceful sky, which you so inspiredly dream of painting, and Victory to our Ukraine;
-
Inexhaustible energyto continue to amaze the world and open new horizons of the spirit.
You are our "patriarch of Ukrainian painting" and a man who proved that true genius knows no boundaries or age. May your every day be filled with that special light that you so generously give us from your paintings.
With deep respect and admiration,
Kyiv1 editorial team
