In the 1990s, he was acquainted with the work of Yurii Andrukhovych and Oksana Zabuzhko, the latter advised him to read Taras Prokhasko.

[citation needed] In 2022, Pavlo Makov took part in the opening of the Ukrainian pavilion at the Venice Biennale.

He compares his situation with the problems of self-representation of Catalan artists, but at the same time opposes the fact that contemporary art is based on folklore.
