Victor Ivanovich Koshevoi was born on the 19th of July, 1924 in Vodyanoye Village in Lugansk Region, Ukraine. He saw many changes in the world, including the end of Communism, before his death in 2006.  His love of art and the outdoor landscape remained, unwavering.

Victor seriously began drawing at the tender age of 7, and had his first art exhibit when he was just 24.

In 1956 Victor Koshevoi graduated from Lugansk State Art School. After that in 1960 he became a member of the National Union of Ukrainian Artists. His paintings are part of National Museums and private art collections. His works were exhibited in Europe, USA and Japan.

Victor Koshevoi used multiple layers of colors and a fine brushstroke to capture the infinite nuances of nature.  The viewer feels the wind rushing over and around the forests, meadows, and rivers.  The clouds are reflecting the atmosphere of the moment:  Either moving rapidly and changing the light as they go, or gliding slowly and peacefully above and behind the landscape.  His love of people and the simple but satisfying "good life" are revealed in this scenes of picnics accompanied by wine and music, a walk on a country road, swimming and sunbathing at the river on a hot summer day, a stroll in the park, or the still, quiet path in deep, winter snow.  Sometimes we can even glimpse the birds of heaven or the creatures of the field breathing life and freshness into the scene.

Victor Koshevoi reaches the heart of the viewer, taking us to places we all feel a part of.  Rich or poor, young or old, we feel humanity and meaning and a true sense of self just being in the presence of his paintings.  He will inspire generations to come, and that is why his paintings are especially valuable and collectible.
