About The Artist

From the early childhood I have developed my passion for art. My parents were helping me to keep my passion for arts by exposing me to heavy work. Started painting in February 2011. It was a group painting session with my friends, now I am not able to stop ever since. My art is the representation of my thoughts, fears, moods, memories or believes. My paintings appear spontaneously, regardless of what I want them to be – they are always end up being an expression or manifestation of my inner subconscious mind, the only technique I am using – it being creative at every stage of creating a painting and keeping it balanced at the same time. There is to be many interpretations of my works, they can be opposite to each other, I use my own interpretation of my work when I am giving them names. My works Influenced a lot by my childhood, the image of my own mother is present in many of works, a lot of my works have religious theme, some of them are political, there is also “mood paintings” that either show the level of my inspiration or the level of “dedication”. All of the images you see on my paintings have not been seen in a real life, all images come out of the depth of my imagination. Just like a photo images clear by developing in a chemical bath the same way my paintings appear in my brain, then paint becomes a fixer. My paintings are revealing the act of creation. Untouched and yet unprejudiced style, holographic vision are to involve viewers into the depths of their own minds. Full online portfolio: behance.net/voklymchuk Art Statement We were given all the best qualities we have in order to utilize it with our love and compassion for the sake of Harmony and Peace. My subject is egocentrically connected with worshiping A Human Being in an unconventional way. The style of my paintings is abstract. It allows me to expand the range of perception of my artworks. From this perspective some of my latest works can be seen as religious icons, as they depict saints and also they alert faith in you, faith in God living inside everyone of us and also faith in purpose of life. Archaic subject and Modern approach give birth and feed the emotions, and my paintings are just like mirrors sending light into the darkness of men’s hearts. Valerii Klymchuk CV Solo: 1.
