Concern “Galnaftogaz” and Universalna Investment Group, following their tradition of supporting prominent cultural events, were general partners of the project for publishing the first in Ukraine and the first in Europe album “Ioann George Pinzel. Sculpture. Transformation.”

“It is not for the first time that our companies finance significant cultural projects. We already have sufficient experience in this sphere.” – says Director-General of Concern “Galnaftogaz” Yuriy Kuchabskyy. – “However, when we got to know, that Kyiv publishing house prepared for publication the unique album of brilliant Pinzel, we found these publishers and offered them our financial support. Now, every time we show the album to our partners from abroad, they are greatly impressed, because they did not even suspect the existence of such a brilliant master of wooden sculpture.”
