You never know what you will find on one of his canvases. Cathedrals and council houses perch on the fragments of a giant's overpass. Submerged kitchen tables morph into living chessboards. Gun-headed sportsmen shoot grenade fruit from trees while dinosaurs watch.
Real life is so complicated and complex.
Poyarkov's desire to combine and synthesize extends beyond the subject matter of his graphics. His portfolio mixes posters, book and magazine illustrations, ads and logos, and stand-alone canvases. And numerous techniques play a part in the creation of each and every image. They are all happy together. Trained at the Kiev Art Design College, the Lvov Book Design Institute and the Ukrainian Academy of Art, Poyarkov worked for some of the biggest Soviet magazines.
