Zakhar Shevchuk's "Ink Album" is a compelling collection of works on paper that encapsulate a spectrum of abstraction and figuration. These pieces, rendered in a minimalist style, pay homage to the avant-garde movements of the early 20th century, with echoes of cubism's transformative vision. The series is characterized by its fluidity and economy of expression, where each stroke and color is laden with meaning. Shevchuk's mastery of both mediums melds the vivid dynamism of pastel with the stark intensity of ink, resulting in artworks that invite contemplation and offer a fresh perspective on the boundary between the abstract and the recognizable.

"Old Photographs" is a contemplative series by Zakhar Shevchuk, where each oil painting is a reimagined narrative inspired by a collection of vintage photographs from the mid-20th century. Discovering a trove of these time-worn images, with their imperfections of focus, accidental framing, and processing flaws, sparked a creative dialogue with the past for the artist. Shevchuk translates these ephemeral fragments into a visual language that speaks of memory, the transience of moments, and the beauty found in imperfection.
Shevchuk's "Old Photographs" stands as a testament to the enduring power of memory and art's unique capacity to encapsulate and enliven the stillness of the past. It is an homage to those fleeting moments, preserved on film, that continue to shape our present perceptions and future imaginings.

His artworks are held in public and private collections worldwide, furthermore, he often participates in various public projects, such as painting murals and other monumental installations.
With years Zakhar's artistic style moved away from academic realism (which always tended closer to expressionism) and towards the style that in somewhere on the edge between figurative art and abstraction. In many of his works, even those that may seem as fully abstract ones, you will find some elements that were intentionally added, aiming to trick your brain into believing that you have finally found something recognisable, something that matches the reality, but then you suddenly loose it, starting the search over and over again.
