I like Voka’s colourful and dynamic paintings. He is one of the few artists who not only depicts movement and power but also the fun and joy of sport.

No other artist is able to capture a ‘moment in time’ of sport highlights on canvas like Voka. I am delighted that Voka supports the Franz Beckenbauer-Foundation with his paintings.

Dass man mit ein bisschen Farbe und einem Pinsel auf einem Stück Leinwand diese Dynamik und
Bewegung zaubern kann, ist für mich einfach gewaltig.

Voka’s realistic style of painting with its intensely colourful and vibrant subject matter reflects today’s life in its entirety from the hustle and bustle of both cities to the calmness of leisure time and every day living.
The artist is able to create positive emotions through his paintings.

In Voka’s paintings I see parallels to sport, where often only a series of tiny movements is the difference between victory and defeat. If you look at his paintings very closely, you see only points of colour - perfection can only be seen when you look at the entire work as a whole.

"Spiritual Gift Possession"
I think of a painting as a “miracle”. The artist views something with the naked eye and the hand transmits the image onto canvas. This, which becomes a painting, to me is simply miraculous.
Such an artist, of unique mind and exceptional talent is VOKA. I see this energy, not only in his paintings, but in the man of humility that he is. That he is able to lend individual artistic energy to each and everyone of his paintings is his gireatest spiritual gift possession.

Voka’s
alert character is reflected in his work through the interaction
of colour and lively use of brush strokes. His eventful
paintings leave the boundaries of two-dimensionality and
take the observer through space and time.
Ellen Schiefer - Gallery Berelle -USA
Art is created by artists - by people from a certain time
who give life to their ideas in the visual and performing
arts or in literature and music.
VOKA is one of them - a gifted painter, who through
the creation of his own art genre, “Spontaneous
Realism”, is currently in the process, to write a piece
of art history.
His strongly and vibrantly colored acrylics catch the
immediate reality though they seem to search for a
different dimension. As a representative of the Russian
Federation, I am particularly delighted to bring a
painter like Voka to Russia, thus following the ideals
of Peter the Great, who was always interested in an
international exchange of artists.
Dr. Stanislaw W. Ossadtschij
Ambassador of the Russian Federation
The exhibition “Moscow-Vienna” by the Austrian artist Voka, - acclaimed for his style “Spontaneous Realism”, - is an excellent example of promoting cultural exchange between two world capitals.
The exhibition shows the clash of captured moments in time from two European cities: on the one hand the pulsating colours of the capitals, on the other the harmony and traditions of each of the cities.
Through this international cultural project the artist not only connects the two countries but at the same time builds a bridge between art and reality.
In my function as mayor of Vienna I am especially pleased that this exhibition is being shown at one of our most prestigious art exhibition venues, the Vienna “Künstlerhaus”.
Dr. Michael Häupl
Mayor of Vienna, capital of Austria
"With his distinctive style of painting he creates, like no other, dynamic and moving moments and emotions of victory, concentration, and fair play from the world of sport on canvas."
