Early life and education

Born on 15 February 1938, in the Ukrainian village of Znamenivka. Since young, he has had a soft spot for the historical art. He travels to Kaliningrad, where his brother Anton is employed as a drama theater artist. He has his first creative experience by aiding his sibling. Malyshko graduated from Dnipropetrovsk Art School in 1961, and received his degree from the Kyiv National Art Institute in 1967. He works in the fields of monumental art, graphics, and easel painting. He works briefly in Mariupol after graduating from the institute.

Artistry

Malyshko is sensitive to the passing of time, its minute variations, and live contemporary forms of reality. He sees it as his task to discover a shape that has significance rather than just brilliant expressive tools. He believed that the creative personality is a means of bridging the gaping holes that digitalization has made between man and nature, between life and art.

Career

Malyshko obtains an apartment in Dnipropetrovsk, lands a position at the municipal executive committee's architectural and artistic workshop, and begins working on intriguing projects. Specifically, he designs in the Chkalov City Park and creates works upon request from the Art and Production Plant, which reports to the Ukrainian SSR Art Fund, in the cities of Pavlohrad and Ordzhonikidze.

Malyshko gets a block of land in the Malyutyanka, which is close to Brovary, in 1975, and he starts building a house on his own initiative. He joined the Union of Soviet Artists of Ukraine's monumental and ornamental branch a year later. The design of the front of the Kyiv National University's mechanical and mathematical building presents him with the opportunity to carry out an idea.
