I am a contemporary artist. My work maneuvers on the edge of desires to be together in search of freedom Я современный художник, моя работа находится на грани желания быть вместе в поисках свободы. Ik ben een hedendaagse kunstenaar; mijn werk manoeuvreert op de rand van verlangens om samen te zijn op zoek naar vrijheid. ---***---- Andrej Babenko is a Belgian artist of Ukrainian descent. His work is characterized by its tangible expressiveness. It has been shown in several museums in Europe, the UK & Ukraine and has been taken up in private collections in Europe, the United States, the UK, Ukraine, Japan and Australia. Babenko departs from reality and focuses on the existential and mythological. His paintings are complex and require attention to discern their layering. Babenko is a storyteller. The artist has gone through a lot in his personal life. Much of this has been transferred to his creations, which, in addition to a story, provide an experience and emotion. Babenko is like a sponge that absorbs everything only to subsequently erupt like a volcano through his works. His paintings are expressive and powerful. People are portrayed with distorted faces; nothing ever stands still in his work. His oeuvre does not have a clear homogeneity in the strict sense of the word. His style is innovative and diverse, as are the techniques he uses. He incorporates traditional elements of classical painting together with grunge aspects into a contemporary context and combines them with modern techniques such as graffiti. Yet the combination of different styles and techniques forms one whole, just like life itself. Babenko manages to unite the mythology of Ukraine with the Western intellectual and conceptual. Babenko shows today what could be important tomorrow. He experiments with questions about human existence: why does history repeat itself; how do people survive in this hectic economic reality and how is it possible that peace and privacy have become luxury? At the same time, he uses light as a metaphor for the hope for a better future. In the meantime, the artist persistently continues to paint and create for as long as there is light. Babenko is listed in the Kunstenaarsdatabank, the Belgian list of professional artists and art heritage::dkb:ppl:1962138/andrej-babenko/
