The exposition displays portraits of global-scale stars. Audiences can see the images of Montserrat Caballe, Bjork, Sting, Paul McCartney, Elvis Presley, Marlene Dietrich, Edith Piaf, Viktor Tsoi, Sviatoslav Vakarchuk, and others.

The exhibit is particular in that the artist does not express a photographic likeness of musicians but presents his own vision of the personality he portrays on the canvas. He tries to show their charisma and energy. The exhibit displays 20th- and 21st-century personalities.

It will be recalled that the young Lviv-based artist is a graduate of the Lviv Art Academy’s Kosiv College of Applied and Decorative Art. He is known at present for his exhibits in Ukraine and abroad. Particularly, in 2006 Myron Kataran held a successful exhibit, “Architecture of Galicia,” in Germany.
