Serhiy Tymoshenko

Serhiy Tymoshenko is a prominent Ukrainian architect. Over the years, he has designed more than four hundred buildings and complexes. The geography of his work stretched from Ukraine to the Caucasus, and reached the shores of two Americas. It is not for nothing that he is called the father of Ukrainian modernism, because he worked tirelessly in this field, and this is when his work fell on turbulent times - the First World War, the Ukrainian Revolution, the Second World War and emigration.

Tymoshenko was an active participant in various exhibitions, where he received many awards. In 1912, he became one of the founders of the H. Kvitka-Osnovianenko Ukrainian Literary, Artistic, and Ethnographic Society, which was a branch of the Enlightenment Society. Later, he became a member of the leadership of the Ukrainian Art and Architecture Department of the Kharkiv Literary and Artistic Circle. The members of this association were engaged in the study and protection of architectural monuments, annually organized art exhibitions, in which artists from different parts of Ukraine took part. All this contributed to the rise and development of Kharkiv's cultural life.
