Original oil painting by Ukrainian artist Andriy Chebotaru — “Soul of Chersonesus”
150 x 100 cm | 59 x 39.4 inches

Step into the ancient spirit of civilization with “Soul of Chersonesus”, a monumental original oil painting by acclaimed Ukrainian artist Andriy Chebotaru (also - Andrii Chebotaru). Inspired by the legendary ruins of Chersonesus — an ancient Greek city near modern-day Sevastopol — this work transforms archaeological heritage into a living, breathing emotional experience.

Using a vivid palette of fiery oranges, lush greens, and bold sky tones in magenta and turquoise, Chebotaru revives the ruins with electrifying energy. Towering columns rise against an otherworldly sky, while the remnants of sacred walls glow with timeless dignity. In the foreground, dynamic brushwork and thick impasto paint create a wild, almost dreamlike landscape — as if memory itself had taken form in color.

This piece is a stunning example of Chebotaru’s signature style: emotional expressionism blended with post-impressionist structure, executed masterfully with palette knife technique. His approach gives the canvas a rich, tactile surface, with sculptural textures that interact with light and shadow. Every stroke feels intentional, every hue sings with poetic force.

More than a historical depiction, “Soul of Chersonesus” is a visual symphony — a conversation between antiquity and the present, between stone and soul.
