Ecclesiastical painting of the diaspora is considered as an integral part of the artistic tradition of Ukrainian religious culture. The artistic processes that took place in ecclesiastical painting against the background of historical and cultural changes in the Ukrainian diaspora in the second half of the XXth century are being analyzed. Attention is paid to important art objects located in the compact settlements of the communities of the Ukrainian Western Diaspora in Europe, Australia, the USA, and Canada. The role of transformational processes of ecclesiastical painting on the example of works of R. Hluvko, J. Hnizdovsky, M. Levytsky, O. Mazuryk, J. Novoselsky are being investigated. The analyzed works clearly demonstrate modernist changes in aesthetic landmarks almost in line with stylistic changes in European art. The issue of artistic features of ecclesiastical painting of the diaspora is critically covered. Problems of temple ensemble, modern stylistic directions of temple concepts, etc. are being singled out.
