The Monet of Ukraine - An essay by art critic Ann Kodicek
"Yalanskyi is a master of landscapes-"moods" of nature. They are positively emotional due to the evolving in them drama of collisions of strong happy colours and of light and shadow. Yalanskyi's paintings are inspired by the artist's endless admiration with the simple and infinite in its variety world of Ukrainian province. Its main subjects are village yards with blooming flowers, picturesque green streets, animals and birds. People, when appearing in them, are mostly background figures, an unavoidable addition to the harmonic and passionate existence."
