“What distinguishes Volodymyr Odrekhiwskyy’s works is their lyricism, chamber character with the keynote - outer guietness, stability, inner search and trying to listen to the surrounding world. By means of sculpture the artist tries to show inner dynamics. Through the motive of the human body one can hear one and the same theme - inner harmony.
According to Volodymyr Odrekhiwskyy art develops step by step from the little inner harmony to the greater outer one. That’s why it’s so important to have a look at man’s inner world. Art should give the energy back therefore it’s hope that the artist always cares for.
Only the greatest values of every person can give an artist desire and inspiration. Volodymyr has never aimed at the aesthetical ideas only. There have always been deep phylosophical reflections on life”.

“It’s the harmony of plastics that impresses you most of all in Volodymyr’s sculptures. They are so light and natural. In our disharmonious world we feel the need of communicating with them. The world has not just been reflected by the artist. It has been created in his soul.

“One of the distinquishing features of Volodymyr Odrekhiwskyy’s sculpture is spirituality of the images. For each of his characters he choses such a psycholigical condition, which conveys his personal qualities and the aims of his activity.”

“… V. Odrekhiwskyy’s works attract by the distinction of many-sided characteristics, by the culture of realistic plastics. They possess outer quietness which, however, doesn’t conceal high spirituality of the image, complicacy and drama of man’s inner world. They impress you by the phylosophical interpretation of the theme…”

“… Through the plastics of the human body V.Odrekhiwskyy reveals a wide range of human emotions. The creative activity of this sculptor can be considered to be an example of the anthropocentric vision of the world…
… Volodymyr Odrekhiwskyy delicately uses the achievements of new technologies, first of all the possibilities of metal polishing. The sculptor doesn’t do that for the sake of aesthetics only. First of all he wants to attract the visitor’s attention to the theme chosen by him”.

“… Volodymyr Odrekhiwskyy gives his works life, soul, he gives them mystery and, in the end, embodies in them that what we worry most of all about - man. In fact, by means of the plastics of the human body the artist creates the gallery of human emotions, he appeals to the world of feelings. His sculptures develop in time, induce to active thinking…
… It’s the warmth that will flow from the artistic work, its consonance with the human soul that the viewer first of all cares about. And all that is characteristic of V. Odrekhiwskyy’s works”.

“Tenderness, refinement, poetics and plasticity are the features of the creative outlook of Volodymyr Odrekhiwskyy without which his sculptures could hardly have appeared. It’s the world of woman’s beauty, a mysterious and exciting combination of poetics of body and soul. It’s lyrics that helps us to reveal the truth about ourselves and people around us, and makes us see the world and life from the position of aesthetics and the purity of the human relations”.
