His theater palette had a wide range – from vivid comedy (Martyn Borulya, Tereshko Surma, Prokip Shkurat) to heroic and romantic images (Nazar Stodolya). Phylosophic comprehension and generalization of life was characteristic to Tobilevich-actor according to the words of his contemporaries. He approached the tops of simplicity and honesty relying on psychological depth, ingenuousness and sincerity of performance. Every his personage was penetrated by unique Ukrainian spirit.
