Zakhar Shevchuk’s Behind the Mask (2025) is a striking acrylic painting that fuses emotional subtlety with symbolic strength. Executed on a 64x60 cm canvas, the work features a spectral figure wearing a roughly rendered mask with two open eye holes. The mask, flat and angular, seems almost crafted from torn paper or fabric – not a tool to hide, but a fragile skin meant to protect what lies beneath.

The artist’s restrained color scheme – icy whites, clouded greys, and soft blue undertones – creates a sense of quietness, but not comfort. The figure feels like it is fading, as though it exists only on the margins of visibility. The two eye holes are empty yet expressive, turning the mask into a mirror that reflects our own vulnerability and need for authenticity.

What makes this painting particularly powerful is its silence – it doesn’t demand attention with bright colors or sharp outlines. Instead, it invites introspection. Shevchuk reminds us that identity is not always fully formed or displayed; sometimes, it flickers softly behind veils of fear, memory, or social pressure.

This is an artwork for those who find beauty in nuance and power in quiet complexity. A perfect fit for collectors of symbolic contemporary art and emotionally resonant figurative works.

Zakhar Shevchuk

Ukraine

Zakhar Shevchuk is a young professional painter and draftsman, he holds a master in arts degree from the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture (Kyiv, Ukraine) and now himself teaches at the academy. 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.
