Oleksii Burdii

Born on May 4, 1986, in Zolotonosha, Cherkasy region, Ukraine, I discovered the world of art within a family of an artist and a jeweler. I pursued education at the Myrgorod Art College and the Kyiv Academy of Decorative Arts and Design. Following this, I embarked on a journey of creative exploration, traveling across Ukraine and the world. The stage of experiments and group exhibitions was pivotal. My works are characterized by minimalist geometric forms initially, later evolving into figurative painting exploring the physicality and emotional world of human beings. My life is a constant experimentation and exploration, reflected in my artworks. The main theme revolves around the place I live and my relationship with the environment. Acrylic paints and paper/canvas are my favorite materials. I reside and work in Kyiv, finding inspiration in travels, atmospheric phenomena, and the city. My art is a reflection of reality through my inner world, made accessible to viewers.
Currently, most of my works are in private collections around the world.
