Winner of the Person of the Year national award in the nomination Artist of the Year

In 2011, Anatoly Kryvolap was awarded the national Person of the Year prize in the nomination Artist of the Year. Shortly afterwards, he became the first Ukrainian artist featured on the Forbes’ front cover. They say, such acclaim could only be possible as a result of his international recognition.

However, more appropriate would be to stress his continuous creative achievements to perfection and unrivalled accomplishments.
