In "An Image from the Past" by Valeriy Bulat, inspired by Alexandre Dumas's "The Three Musketeers", the artist masterfully captures the wisdom and resilience of a seasoned musketeer. The subject's expressive face, marked by subtle lines and a distinguished smile, radiates a sense of nostalgia and life experience. The soft play of light emphasizes the contours of his aged yet dignified features, while his silver hair and mustache frame a visage that carries the weight of time and countless stories.

Clad in period attire, complete with a polished collar and decorative buttons, the man exudes both strength and elegance. His warm expression invites the viewer to imagine his journey—a reflection of loyalty, valor, and enduring camaraderie, central themes in Dumas's timeless novel. The muted background ensures the focus remains on his presence, highlighting the quiet confidence and dignity of someone who has lived through battles both external and within.

Through this painting, Bulat celebrates the passage of time, reminding us that the past continues to shape the present. It is an homage to the timeless virtues of honor, wisdom, and friendship, expressed through a character who stands as a bridge between history and legend.

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.
