Moment of children’s creativity fixed in paintings and graphic art images — unique and, in general, priceless! Wassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc, Gabriele Münter, Henri Matisse, Anatolii Bakushynskyi, Pablo Picasso collected children’s paintings. They were admired by their “inner sound”, “unconscious enormous power” and symbolism of color combinations.
Children’s picture must be in the center of more attention of education, culture and family. Art image is the material for scientific research, especially valuable in understanding the stages of children’s development.
That is why I have been collecting children’s art masterpieces for decades and for this purpose I founded the first children’s art gallery in Lviv. Also I arranged Forum of Children’s Art “Golden Easel” where children can be participants of different festivals, competitions, plein airs, traveling exhibitions every year.
