Position - Academic Secretary of the Department of Synthesis of Plastic Arts of the NAA of Ukraine. He works in the field of decorative and applied arts (art glass). His creativity, active social and artistic position largely determine the development of contemporary Ukrainian art. The artist's work in the field of artistic blown glass began in 1970. Since then, A. Bokotey's original works have been drawing the interest of critics and art lovers both in Ukraine and beyond. A. Bokotey has held numerous exhibitions, including ten solo exhibitions in Ukraine, Russia, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Poland. He initiated the international glass symposiums in Lviv (since 1989), and also introduced the idea of establishing a glass museum in Lviv.
The significant creative and organisational achievements of A. Bokotey are inseparable from his long teaching career at the Lviv National Academy of Arts, which he chaired for a considerable period of time. His students today are internationally recognised artists who continue the traditions of their mentor with dignity. An important feature of the artist is his constant search for new ways in creativity and art education, which contributes to the development of Ukrainian art. Owing to his activity, the ties between Ukrainian art schools and art schools in Europe, the USA, and Japan have significantly expanded, and cooperation with art schools in Ukraine has intensified.
