Artistic Heritage of Odessa: A Discovery for Children
Renowned Ukrainian artist Mykhailo Reva introduced children to the secrets behind the creation of sculptures that adorn Odessa.
Mykhailo Reva is a distinguished sculptor, architect, and graphic artist, whose works can be found not only in Odessa but also in many cities around the world. Among his most famous pieces are the «12th Chair» in the City Garden, «Angel of Mercy» near the Litvak Rehabilitation Center, «Tree of Love», and the fountain «Beginning of Beginnings» in the Greek Park.
He is the founder of the Reva Foundation, a winner of international competitions, and a participant in the Babyn Yar Memorial Museum project.
«Sculptures preserve the memory of events, people, and eras; they act as markers of time that shape the character of urban space. Moments like these — meetings with the younger generation — are an investment not just in culture as a sector, but in culture as a way of thinking,» emphasized Mykhailo Reva.
During their visit to the studio, the children learned about the process of creating sculptures, explored the materials the artist works with, and discovered his current projects.
