From 1980–1987 he served as Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs; in 1987–1989 he chaired the Kyiv branch of the Union of Artists of Ukraine.

Artistic Profile

• Techniques: Etching, lithography, watercolor, pen-and-ink drawing.

• Style: Academic craft fused with free, expressive line; refined draftsmanship, fluid brushwork, and metaphoric imagery.

• Recurring Themes: The female figure, lyrical/erotic compositions, allegory, classical and mythological subjects, and the horse as a symbol of energy and freedom.

• Approach: Virtuosic line, dynamic movement, layered compositions—a balance of reality and imagination.

• Why Collectors Care: Works combine sensuality with intellect—poetic yet daring—making them highly appealing to US and European collectors of modern printmaking and works on paper.

Chebykin is a key figure in Ukrainian graphic art from the late 20th to early 21st century. His works are held by the National Art Museum of Ukraine, the Taras Shevchenko National Museum, and numerous private collections in Europe and the United States.
