BEREHOVSKA, Khrystyna et al. The problem of influences on the monumental art of the Ukrainian-American artist S. Hordynskyi. Revista Convergências [online]. 2023, vol.16, n.32, pp.81-94.  Epub Dec 31, 2023. ISSN 2184-0180.  https://doi.org/10.53681/c1514225187514391s.32.237.

This study explores the role of Ukrainian-American artist S. Hordynskyi in the evolution of monumental art, with an emphasis on the cultural and historical origins of the Ukrainian nation in world art history. Employing methods such as analysis, synthesis, comparison, deduction, historical, and generalisation, the research delves into Hordynskyi's contributions and the broader context of Ukrainian art history. Results indicate that Hordynskyi uniquely blended Byzantine and Renaissance traditions in his monumental art, developing a style that emphasized a distinct perception of the sacred. Additionally, “Boichukism” emerged as a central conceptual idea shaping his work. Conclusively, the ascent of Ukrainian art and culture in the global arena is influenced by socio-economic and political dynamics, with Hordynskyi's singular artistic contributions playing a pivotal role in this renaissance, offering valuable insights for contemporary artists globally.

Keywords : creativity; painting; traditions; neo-Byzantine; iconography.
