Artists - Part 86

 Yaroslav Sobol

Yaroslav Sobol is a Ukranian artist.  He was born in Zaporizhzhia in 1973 and studied at Kharkiv State Art College from 1988 to 1992.

His early work was impressionistic in style, like Poppy Fields, 2018, above.

Sunny Boy, 2018, is also impressionistic.  Sobol has painted a large number of nudes, both male and female.

Then Sobol's style became a bit less impressionistic and more realistic, like Mike, 2020, above.

The trend toward realism continued.  Above, Sunny Day, 2021.

Red Wine, 2023, shows even greater attention to detail.

Nude Boy in the Morning, 2024.

Nude Boy on the Beach, 2024, reverts to an impressionistic background.

In 2025, Sobol painted several studies called Nude Male Model.  This one, Nude Male Model #2, is anatomically impressive.

We end with a rear view for my friend Rick.  This is Nude Man by the Sea, 2025.

Don't Ukrainian men have hair around their dicks?

If Nude Male Model #2 were posing for me in my studio, I'd get very little work done.

That last one is by far the best, IMO.

Exactly. Be it male or female, the rear is my favorite view.

The work of Sobol was so good he was admitted into the art academy without entrance exams ! He is a sculptor as well as a painter.
Despite the war Russia has waged on Ukraine and amidst its destruction, there has been a flowering of the arts in Ukraine. Sobol is among these talented artists.
