... Petro Malyshko is from the generation of those Ukrainian artists whose works cannot be considered hastily or quickly. Diverse and integral, at the same time, it is marked by some strange force of magnetic attraction. The colorful surface of the canvases with the plastic sensuality of pasty strokes, the aesthetic feeling of the material flesh of the metal sculpture ... Here, through and through, there are no random thoughts, empty meaningless phrases, cheap pathos or banal flirtation with the viewer ...
... Petro Malyshko broke the tempting mirages of stereotypes. His search is in the realm of eternal artistic values. Good - evil, love - hatred, contemplation of beauty and its reflection ...
