Maheno Painting

I am a Ukrainian artist, the basis of my art are illustrations on paper and acrylic paintings. In my artworks I focus a lot on details, therefore, dot work and mosaic became the main tools in my work. My art is filled with vivid and pure colors and shades, with the help of which I am aiming to convey the idea of the presence of positive aspects in any situation in our life or in any person in our environment. For the inspiration I turn to styles like pop art and symbolism. Also studying the reasons behind the behavior of others and my own, in each of my work I use symbols that describe my attitude towards the experience or knowledge obtained in life. I was born in 1983 in Kharkov, Ukraine, where from 1989 till 1997 I studied in the Lyceum of Arts in the fine arts group. During the studies in the Lyceum I participated in numerous children group exhibitions, contests and projects, including international ones. Since the autumn of 1997 I have been living in Kyiv, Ukraine. In 2017 I have resumed the artistic activity after more than 15 years break due to working in other industries.
