"BLACK PASTELS. Live Study No 39" Drawing

Vitaliy Dmytruk is a Ukrainian transmedia artist based in Kyiv, working at the intersection of contemporary fine art, social commentary, and visceral presence. His practice is a deep exploration of dark aesthetics, trauma, and the complex limits of corporeality. Dmytruk’s work functions as a "Ritual" - a meditative yet provocative process of decoding social constructs and the fragility of the human form. By blending classical sensibilities with a philosophy of Radical Sincerity, he challenges the viewer to confront the uncomfortable beauty found in vulnerability and psychological boundaries. Particularly in his recent work, this exploration has evolved into a meditative response to the moral and physical challenges of life in wartime Ukraine, focusing on the raw presence of the body as a primary relic of identity. His transmedia approach ensures that each concept - whether captured on paper or expressed through physical objects - is a fragment of a larger manifesto. Dmytruk’s art is an investigation into the "relics" of modern identity, making him a distinct voice for collectors seeking works that are both intellectually demanding and aesthetically profound.
