Viktor then focused his attention in capturing the beauty of Altaiês landscapes and Transkarpathiaês mountainous countryside. Shvaiko was able to obtain passage from Russia to the United States. Arriving in New York, Viktor developed a fondness of painting cafes and other intimate spaces that has become his trademark. Viktor Shvaiko paints beautiful paintings, however, it is apparent to the viewer that these meticulous paintings reach us at an emotional level.
