Anatoly Tarabanov

Born in 1953 in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine.
My works are exhibited in museums across Ukraine and internationally, including the Boston Museum of Social Art. Many of my pieces are held in private collections in the USA, various European countries, Turkey, and Israel.

I currently live and work in Zaporizhzhia.

I, Anatoly Tarabanov, specialize in easel painting.

My art merges direct impressions from life with a meticulous focus on form. I firmly believe that the technique of painting is something that should be continuously perfected throughout one's life, involving constant experimentation and the introduction of new elements. My works are characterized by a clear, confident rhythm, which stands out amidst vibrant bursts of decorative spots. This distinct quality makes my art easily comprehensible and its deeper meanings readily perceivable.

Anyone who has seen my creations, even just once, can easily recall my unique style. It’s a blend of undeniable talent, refined technique, perfect composition, a distinctive style, and sincerity, all combined flawlessly. While conveying my own deeply personal expressions, I also capture the richness and unfathomable depth of universal emotions that emerge when one is deeply connected with nature.
