Serhiy Verbicki. Artist

A creative hooligan in search of the meaning of life.

Ideas, Projects, Works. My page.

Hello!

I am full of inspiration and desire to realize my creative ideas. In addition to sculpture, painting, creating video works and music, right now I am working on the social initiative Joint Workshop and designing and collecting funds for my main goal and dream - a technological creative and scientific space for people of science and art.

-"Each phenomenon in the world has its own way.

A cruise missile has its coordinates of embodiment, and I have my coordinates and my wings."

Serhiy Verbicki.

The understanding that came to me during the war, in my opinion, is worth surviving the war. I was in the occupation near Bucha, I left there through the front, and I saw a lot of things that it would be better not to see. So, the strength of my desire to implement my creative idea is many, many times stronger than the rational understanding that during shelling one must go down to the bomb shelter. That's why I go to the workshop and work. I do not want and physically cannot waste a single minute of my life turning from my path. So, the rocket flies according to its coordinates, and I have mine.

The power of conscious Human choice is much stronger than any cruise missile.

Happiness is when your main goal and main dream are one.

My aim, goal and dream are:

Creation of a unique technological, creative and scientific space for the people of science and art.

In a safe, ecologically clean and incredibly beautiful place in Europe or one of the NATO countries. Or maybe it will be a new city built on land, water or air. In a new state created by Artists, Scientists and free People of our planet.

There, it will be possible to create and preserve cultural values and objects of art safely.

Where people of science and art will be able to realize common creative ideas for the growth, development and prosperity of Humanity.

Every member of our family has devoted their whole life to art. 5 generations of artists and 120 years of continuous fruitful creativity under any circumstances, I consider it a stable trend worthy of trust.

I am looking for partners and investors to participate in the implementation of this project.

If you are an Angel investor, Patron, Foundation or a person close in spirit, who, like me, sees the sense in the creation of such new models of interaction for the harmonious development of Humanity, write to me.

I'm ready to take on the creation of a City of Artists on land, water or air!

Also, I will be happy to participate in your project if you are already implementing something similar.

About two years before the start of a full-scale war in Ukraine, I decided for myself that I wanted to move on and build my future in an ecologically clean, insanely beautiful and safer place. In Europe, America or even on the water. Even then, it was absolutely clear to me that in the place I was born, most likely, there will never be the conditions for life and creativity that I dream of.

Then I started packing, closed all my affairs and decided to go on a journey to find the place of my dreams. To build the Workshop, home and the city of Master Artists. Preparation for the departure took almost two years. There were literally a few things left and tickets could already be purchased.

On February 24, 2022, I was visiting my friends.. near Bucha and after the start of a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, I almost immediately found myself under occupation. Now the whole world knows what happened there... Then, two weeks after the beginning of the occupation, in March I managed to escape from there and reach Kyiv.

But now I don't have the opportunity to leave Ukraine because the borders are closed from the inside. I continue to work here, but I believe that I will have the opportunity to leave and realize my dream and vocation.

Freedom is one of the highest values given to man by God. And whoever deprives a free person of the opportunity to choose his own path commits a crime against the Universe.

I am working and collecting all the resources to build the Workshop of my dreams.

What I am currently working on:

Primeval Minimalism

LIVE. HONEST. NATURAL.

I present the style. Or a creative direction. What I worked on during the previous year and continue to work on now.

Primeval Minimalism.

Helps me focus on the essence of things.

It all started with the fact that...

I was tired of the layering of meanings in modern art and longed for a cleanup of unnecessary junk.

Therefore, MINIMALISM.

However, modern minimalism often becomes boring and "stinks" of recycled plastic.

That is why I take the PRIMEVAL mood and mix it up.

Primeval — is Live, Honest and Natural.

The intersection of the primeval mood and modern minimalism is an interesting point for creativity and the search for new directions of development. Or a return to common (primeval) sense. But within the framework of the modern world.

"GRAIN" collection

"Life by the fire" series

When I created the items of the collection, I imagined myself as a child of a primeval man, about 5-7 years old. I am sitting by the fire, my father throws me a piece of clay, and my mother says:

- Make something useful out of it while I clean this fish, and then you will get something to eat.

I see that I have no more than three minutes and... I decide to make a cup. As quickly as possible, I roll something similar to a snowball, push two-thirds of the way through, and quickly go over it with my fingers to form a cup.

- Where's the handle? My father asks. How will you grab it?

I understand that my mother is making the last move and after that the fish will go to the fire. I have 10 seconds left. I grab a piece of clay, squeeze it with my hand and stick it to the cup. As it turns out, the most important thing is for the piece to be there. Done! There is a container into which you can pour something, and there is a handle to grab. The task was completed, the goal was achieved by the shortest path. I will be given something to eat.

This imaginary scene helps clear the mind and work honestly and purely.

I created each of the items in the collection in a flow. No thoughts, sketches, or expectations of any kind.

I got a great amount of pleasure and inspiration from the process. The series will continue to grow and be supplemented.
