Art Mag

My artistic alias is Art Mag, residing in Kharkiv city, Ukraine. Armed with an art education from the esteemed Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Arts, I proudly represent Ukrainian contemporary art as a versatile artist, sculptor, and jeweler.
My artistic journey is a fusion of intellectual surrealism, sculpting masterpieces from precious metals, and crafting luxury jewelry for both men and women. Through my work, I aim to articulate the complexities of modern existence in the 21st century.
Rooted in the traditions of the 19th-century French academic painting school, my creations delve into thought-provoking narratives, exploring themes of freedom and human psychology. Influenced by the pioneering works of Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, and Cesare Lombroso, I infuse powerful archetypes and contemporary symbols into my art.
My oeuvre encompasses a diverse cast of characters, ranging from religious figures like Jesus Christ to mythical beings such as Lucifer, alongside modern icons like financial magnates and artificial intelligence. Yet, amidst this eclectic mix, I strive for clarity, eschewing fantastical imagery for more accessible forms reminiscent of Paul Delvaux and René Magritte.
