If you have a need for a charge of optimism, vivid impressions and good mood, you just need to look into the gallery of the artist, whose works will literally fill you with colossal positive energy, joy, and lyrical mood. Incorrigible romantic and dreamer Yuri Matsikdiscarding all conventions, gives the viewer a piece of his soul, which gushes with good humor, simple human warmth and love for everything that is called life.
Every modern master tries to say his word in art, and in such a way as to be heard, and for this he uses all his technical skills. But spiritual warmth and kindness, no matter how hard you try, can not be replaced by virtuoso technique, or fanciful compositions, or the most unusual combinations of anything.
But, contemplating the paintings of Yuri Matsik, once again you are convinced that everything ingenious is simple. Here, for example, summer - red, sunny, freckled - a prettier summer and it's hard to imagine. Or, say, "love" … If you look at the illustration of Yuri Matsik, your heart softens, and you become kind by will, - you smile: Yes! Indeed love …
Working in the style of naive art, the artist primarily seeks to convey thoughts, feelings, the embodiment of the dreams of the characters in his paintings. He literally draws us into his stories, and we, against our will, find ourselves on the crest of positive emotions. Apparently this is due to the fact that the heroes of the artist's compositions are extremely happy. And this is very contagious!
Yuri Matsik is an excellent master of transformation of form and content. Emphasizing beauty, harmony, bright sides of life, good humor, he skillfully stylizes everything that falls on his canvases. In his works, life undergoes amazing metamorphoses: cats walk here hugging clowns, here birds build nests on the hats of lovely ladies, and objects are completely unrealistic, here even houses have an irregular shape and trees are not the same as in the real world.
And another interesting aspect that can be traced in the works of Yuri Matsik: upon closer examination, you can see that in almost no picture the artist depicts a lonely hero - all images of people, houses, trees are closely related, that is, there is always someone or something something close, together, in close relationship.
The master works with acrylic paints. Moreover, for the image of the background space, he uses a palette knife, with which he masterfully applies colorful textured strokes, and for detailed drawing - the finest brushes.

By the fall of 1859, the legendary leader of the highlanders, Imam Shamil, surrendered to the Russian army. This, in fact, marked the end of the protracted Caucasian war. The theocratic state of the North Caucasian Imamate, which had lasted for about 30 years, also ceased to exist. Having fallen into Russian hands, Shamil expected, at best, exile to Siberia.
