The article comprehensively analyzes the development of neo-baroque as a separate style in modern Ukrainian art studios, but the main vector is made for the analysis of modern Ukrainian painting. Conclusions. Neo-Baroque from the XIX century, proposed several new principles, that contradicted the principles of the „official” classicism. In particular, neo-baroque culture led to the rejection of a single, systematic, simple model and formed a view of the world as a fragmentary plurality. Ukrainian neo-baroque became a natural stage in the national tradition, which turned to its origins and formed complex relationships with other art forms. Therefore, the significance of this style is significant given the further development of contemporary art. Among contemporary artists who turn to the Baroque traditions, such figures as V. Ryabchenko, K. Reunov, A. Savadov, O. Tistol, S. Panych. and others are important. Some neo-baroque features are contained in the works of M. Storozhenko, Y. Lutskevich, D. Yablonsky, etc. The development of the neo-baroque has become so popular in contemporary art that even Ukrainian designers are actively incorporating Baroque principles into their works.
