Leaving an artistic legacy behind is the dream of every artists and Ukrainian artist Roman Bonchuk is no exception. Already famous for his large scale painting and murals, Bonchuk is now setting off on his most grand adventure. He is planning on pairing a huge mural that depicts the history of the world, according to Russia’s ‘Novye Izvestia’ newspaper. The 28 year old artists has made headlines in both his home country of Ukraine and on the international stage in December 2007 when he unveiled his 30 meter long and five meter high canvas that was devoted to the history of Ukraine.
The new painting is on an even grander scale. Planned to be 1.5 kilometres long, the mural is going to depict over 2,000 major world events and five million prominent and famous figures in that have had a hand in shaping the world into what we know today. Bonchuk plans on displaying the huge painting at the Avenue of Champes Elysees in Paris within the next five years. In order to meet that deadline, however, he will have to paint at least 2,700 individuals from world history every day without a single day off, a feat Bonchuk has yet to explain how he intends to meet.
