Perspective

He began participating in all-Ukrainian and international exhibitions in 1979. His solo exhibitions have been held in Ternopil (2001), Jarosław (2002), Lubaczów (2002, 2004–2005), and Rzeszów (2005).[1]

He works in the fields of easel and book graphics, including illustrations, posters, ex-libris, caricatures, drawings, and cartoons. His works are held in the collections of the Ternopil Museum of Local Lore, art museums in Ternopil, Mykolaiv, and Taiwan, the Lviv Palace of Arts, the Museum in Lubaczów, the House of Satire and Humor in Gabrovo (Bulgaria), the Museum of Caricature in Istanbul, the International Ex-Libris Center in Sint-Niklaas (Belgium), the Piranha Satire Gallery (Jarosław, Poland), the Ex-Libris Association (China), and private collections in Ukraine and abroad.[1]

In his works, lines and forms are concise, and the compositions are conventional and associative. He masterfully combines the abstract with the real, while color and texture create a sense of grandeur and monumentality. In his graphic art, he maintains this concise style, but with a gentle and soft humor.[1]

In 2004, M. Dmitrukh set a world record for drawing cartoons at the International Art Plein Air "Morka" (Poland). His students include Pavlo Shachko.[2]
