They fill a person's balance, calm, and peace. Since 1989 Alexander Kodenko has been a member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine. His works are in private collections in Ukraine, Germany, USA, and Italy."This is an extraordinary man and artist" - say his friends. "An incredible person. He is an Avant-garde, a teacher, and a man who works so long and hard. He devotes himself to the art that, in my opinion, he has long gone to some other space, and continues to remain there. His latest series he wrote on his old canvas. For me, he is an artist, who without a twinge of conscience can be displayed on the Kiev stage. He brought his skills to the point of quality that is undeniable. This is for me," - says Kateryna Siryk (Manya Romashkina).
