Mykhailo Volodymyrovich Reva (Ukrainian: Михайло Володимирович Рева; born 13 March 1960) is a Ukrainian artist, sculptor, architect,[1] a founder of a non-profit organisation REVA Foundation.

Biography

Drawing inspiration from ancient folklores and philosophies, Mikhail Reva processes unfathomable symbolism by reconstructing it into physical sculptural form.[2] The tension between viewer and these imposing, anthropomorphized artworks sparks the imagination towards transcendent realms. The works of Michael Reva have a diverse nature and are presented in many places.
