The mosaic “Movement” (authors – Halyna Zubchenko and Hryhorii Pryshedko) embodies the idea of harmony between humanity and nature. Against the backdrop of a sun-flower, three athletes are depicted diving into the aquatic element. This mosaic panel is one of the first collaborative works of Halyna Zubchenko and Hryhorii Pryshedko. With this piece, created in 1969, the artists began to establish their signature style and embarked on working in an abstract-conventional manner. “Movement” has suffered partial losses over time and is now recognized as a recently identified monument of cultural heritage (monumental art).
