Art development
Tony Zhuravel's painting style incorporates a layering effect. His method interleaves textures, blending color and a subjective atmosphere within her imagery. He paints using unpredictable palettes, a spectrum of color. Indeed, his surprising use of color has become a distinctive attribute of his work. Tony's abstract western landscapes experiment with this concept of the horizon; austere western prairie bonded with a shifting sky. So much more than just a thin line, his imagery reveals the horizon's intricate variety in rich layers and unusual colors. All the consequences of an unaffected invention that results from intuitive strokes on the canvas.

Paintings
In 2009, Tony Zhuravel represented Belarus at Venice Bienalle – The most famous abstract painting in which Zhuravel tapped his potential for freewheeling expressionism is “August” the most ambitious painting.
