Michal Andreevich Кarpuk

Various graphic and oil-painted landscapes created by the famous Belarusian
graphic artist and painter Michal Andreevich Кarpuk raise insistently the
question on the national school of Belarusian landscape and reflect its state at
the present stage. In spite of the extensive map of the geographic routes of the
artist, who has travelled over the most part of European Russia, Usbekistan,
Caukasia, Crimea, Moldeva, Ukraine, Baltic republic, Poland, etc., he has abided
by the Belarusian nature known since the childhood.
"I have the sole love in the arts, says Mikhal Karpuk. I paint only unique
landscape of native Belarus."
Indeed, the artist's inclination to landscapes of the Motherland cannot fail
to touch. He painted many times the landscapes of Brest, Grodno, Homel, Vitebsk
and Minsk regions, many hundreds of sketches, drawings, and complicated
composition solutions.
The attract the creator in the right way, and being reflected in masterly
fashion on canvas or graphic sheets, they make the viewer to experience again and
again the feeling of Motherland.

Gdansk, Gdynia, Sopot, Torun), Sweden (Alwesta).

passed without leaving a trace for him. It helped him to develop the composition
