Description
47BUL
Valeriy Bulat's "Self-portrait" presents the artist in the guise of a historical figure, exuding strength, wisdom, and introspection. The detailed rendering of his features—sharp eyes, a commanding mustache, and flowing hair—captures an aura of both authority and contemplation. The inclusion of the sword, along with the period clothing, suggests a connection to a noble or warrior-like character, embodying ideals of honor, resilience, and tradition.
Through this work, the artist expresses his own inner strength and the timeless values he cherishes. The subdued background and rich, earthy tones enhance the subject's prominence, creating an intimate portrayal that invites the viewer to reflect on the artist's identity and his connection to history and heritage.
Presentation
Bulat Valeriy Nikolaevich. Born in Zaporozhye (Ukraine).
Graduated from the Leningrad Art School and the Leningrad Pedagogical Institute named after Herzen (art and graphic department).
Studied in the creative workshops of the Academy of Arts of Professor Razdrogin I. and Professor Neprintsev Yu.
In 1988 – became one of the founders of the Leningrad Association of Free Artists.
Since 1989 – more than 15 personal exhibitions
Participant in numerous All-Ukrainian and international exhibitions
Participant in foreign exhibitions in Finland, Sweden, the Netherlands.
Many works are in galleries and private collections in Europe.
Valeriy Bulat is an artist with an undeniable talent, creating a variety of works of art, from still lifes and landscapes to portraits. His portrait works stand out especially, in which he masterfully conveys the character and inner world of his models. Valery has a unique vision of a person, instantly imagining an image that is ideal for creating a portrait. He draws inspiration from historical, literary and fantasy images, seeing what eludes others, making his portraits truly unique.
A special place in Valery's work is occupied by a retrospective series of paintings inspired by the novel by A. Dumas "The Three Musketeers" and based on the 1961 Franco-Italian film of the same name. Portraits of the iconic actors who played the main roles, Gerard Barre and Mylene Demongeot in the images of their characters from this film are in the private collections of their families. In addition, many works from the "Three Musketeers" series are kept in the collections of fans of this immortal work around the world and receive rave reviews.
The paintings by Valeriy Bulat served as illustrations for the book by A. Dumas "The Three Musketeers" published in 2023, as they are deservedly considered to be among the best ever created.
It should be noted separately that Valeriy has also been painting churches for over 20 years. Icons and wall paintings by him adorn churches and monasteries in many regions of Ukraine.
The versatility and depth of Valeriy Bulat's talent not only attracted many fans, but also earned very positive reviews from critics and art historians. This was reflected in the book "Both Mastery and Inspiration... Facets of Valeriy Bulat's Creativity", published in 2022. It describes in detail the process of creating the paintings, and also includes reproductions of paintings, icons, wall paintings and comments from the artist himself. This book has become an important contribution to understanding the creative path and legacy of Valeriy Bulat.
