Artist-pioneer, cosmist philosopher and humanist, consciously and purposefully spreading the ideas of ecological imperative, pacifism, cosmopolitanism through his art and texts. Curator and art theorist, researcher at the Institute of Contemporary Art. After decades of research, he created a deeply thought-out, innovative direction in contemporary art - Noosphere-Cosmic Art of the Future, which he justified in a number of theoretical texts. He considers the new art created by him to be the result of the development of the direction of the spiritual, initiatory movement in art, which was started by Hilma af Klint, Robert and Sonia Delaunay, Kazimir Malevich, Vasily Kandinsky and other messengers and prophets of the new era, the result of the development of a new, salvific for mankind thinking and worldview.

Klymenko received a fundamental higher professional art academic education during 14 years of study. Art school - four years, art school - 4 years and the Academy of Arts in Kiev - 6 years. Since his youth being a passionate seeker of knowledge, reader and collector of books, he continues to this day active, wide and diverse self-education in the spheres of philosophy, science and culture. Having brilliantly mastered the canons of realistic art, he created a series of significant early paintings in the style of figurative postmodernism, but at the age of about 33 years consciously and purposefully moved to abstract painting. He made this transition because he came to realise that abstract art is a more universal and global way of addressing the whole world without distinction of race, nation, limiting religious and historical dogmas.

Being a professional and highly recognised artist Klymenko was invited to participate in prestigious group exhibitions of Ukrainian art in Vienna, Geneva, Berlin, London, Monaco and other cities, had solo exhibitions in Paris and New York.

For example, he participated in the exhibition at the Vienna Museum of Art History, in the exhibition of leading Ukrainian artists at the Saachi Gallery in London, in the exhibition of world art at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, and so on.
Aleksandr Klymenko's works are in the collections of museums, prestigious corporate, bank and private collections in Ukraine and around the world, have been successfully sold many times at the auctions of leading Ukrainian and world auction houses. Exhibited at Sotheby's, each time were sold at high prices at Phillips.
