A stylized composition that symbolizes the actor’s words: “Everyone wants to pretend to be a different person. I know it well, that’s why I wouldn’t create my own portrait... Few of us can face the bitterness and sweetness of life, its light and dark side, without getting biased towards our own emotions...” (Panas Saksahanskyi): a smooth outline of the actor holding a mask that symbolizes his talent of impersonation; theater drapes are to the left; to the right are the years of his life 1859/1940 and the semicircular legend ПАНАС САКСАГАНСЬКИЙ (Panas Saksahanskyi).
