Bohdan Vykhrenko

I am an artist from Ukraine, and I am passionate about oil painting.

What we see is changeable, and in our memories, we have only remembered the atmosphere, but the brightness of colours, shapes, and details is forgotten. Through painting, you can capture vibes, show the moment's beauty, delve into it and feel its joy. For me, painting is a way of expressing emotions and storing memories, it is a kind of meditation that I have been practising since childhood and which brings me a lot of gratitude and vision.

I have always found inspiration in nature's simplicity and complexity, its uniqueness and variety, every changing moment, every sunset and sunrise, the flow of the wind, clouds and colours in the sky. I convey the beauty of landscapes on canvas that balance light, harmony, compositions, and shadows.

Being impressed by the works of such great artists as Albert Bierstadt, Joaquín Sorolla, Claude Monet, and Carl Rungius made me keener toward becoming a better artist and finding my way of expressing myself.
