"Octopus" Outdoor Sculpture - Limited Edition of 12

Born into an artistic family, Volodymyr Mykytenko is a prominent contemporary Ukrainian sculptor and a member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine since 1996. He received his thorough formal education at the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture in Kyiv, graduating in 1994. Under the guidance of renowned masters V. Sukhenko, I. Makogon, and V. Chepelyk, he perfected his classical sculpture technique, which is now the basis of his unique symbolic, academic, and surrealist bronze artworks. Volodymyr’s sculptural works are highly valued on the contemporary art market and are part of permanent museum collections, including the Museum of the History of Kyiv and the National Museum “Kyiv Picture Gallery”. His art has also gained significant international recognition, highlighted by a prominent biennial exhibition organized by a state museum in Poland. His works are frequently presented at prestigious art platforms and auctions. He regularly collaborates with the Golden Section auction house in Ukraine and actively participates in international charity auctions, including European events at the Agra-Art auction house and the Art of Imagination project (Poland). After the full-scale invasion, Volodymyr has been actively involved in philanthropic cultural initiatives, donating his artwork to charity auctions to raise vital funds in support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). Today, his bronze sculptures can be found in renowned private and museum collections in Ukraine, France, Canada, Switzerland, the USA, the UK, the Netherlands and Germany.
