Blue Wild Irises Painting

Vitaly Leshukov Soldatov is a Ukrainian-born, Spain-based artist whose work bridges post-impressionist energy, meditative symbolism, and expressive portraiture. Inspired by Van Gogh’s swirling brushwork, his landscapes reimagine Provence, Tuscany, and the Pyrenees — not as literal scenes, but as visions woven from memory, travel, and inner emotion. Vibrant colors, bold impasto textures, and the rhythm of light turn these paintings into emotional journeys, alive with movement. In his meditative series, abstract forms and cosmic imagery explore themes of birth, life, and continuity. These works invite contemplation, blending symbolism with spiritual depth, and often evoke a Zen-like sense of equilibrium. His portraiture captures not only likeness, but the essence of human emotion — joy, innocence, and reflection — reminding us why a smile or a glance can become a source of energy and meaning. Today, Leshukov Soldatov’s works are in private collections across Europe, the USA, and Asia. He has exhibited internationally, including solo and group shows in Japan, Switzerland, France, Taiwan, Belgium, Luxembourg, South Korea, Russia, and the UAE. His paintings are represented on global platforms such as Saatchi Art, Catawiki, and Etsy.
