Vadim Shamanov

Vadim Shamanov passed a difficult path to his vocation. Music helped him to hear and understand the painting. He began his professional career as a guitarist. He performed solo and with different teams. However, he quickly realized that the lifestyle of a musician --- endless trips, flights, and hotels - does not suit him at all.

At the same time, interest in the visual arts and painting began to prevail in childhood. So he found another way of self-expression and self-realization. I decided to master the science of painting, for which I went to study at the art studio of the Union of Artists of Ukraine without hesitation. The knowledge gained helped him to fully unleash his creative potential.

As a way of expressing, Vadim Shamanov chose an abstract painting, the expressive means of which allows the author to convey his creative ideas through the color and texture of oil paint, and the images created help the viewer to see his own inner world.
The artist has implemented a number of interesting and successful projects in Europe and Ukraine and is currently preparing new personal projects in Kyiv.
