Igor Trokhymenko

My name is Igor Trokhymenko.
I was born on August 3, 1967 in Kharkiv. I also lived in the Kharkiv region until 2001. I moved to Kyiv in 2001, and now I live there.
Why did you start drawing?
At one point I felt that I was losing the ability to enjoy and enjoy what I was doing, and looking deep inside, I saw nothing better than painting, which I did a little as a child.

Why watercolor?
I chose watercolor consciously - it is one of the most difficult techniques in painting, but also one of the most fascinating: works made in watercolor always attract my attention for lightness, transparency and closeness to the essence of life - with the uniqueness of each moment and full of light and color.

Why are you interested in landscapes in the first place?
I am convinced that life around us is full of beauty that you just need to see, listen to feel, and the works of nature are always perfect in structure, color and composition, which cannot be said about the result of human activity.

Separately, I will talk about the genre "Cityscape".
One of my favorite pastimes is walking the streets of the city, finding a cozy corner at a table in a cafe and watching life around me. And often there is a desire to snatch this bundle of life ...

I graduated from Kharkiv National University V. Karazin (economics) in 1991. I graduated from Kyiv National University T. Shevchenko (jurisprudence). in 2008.
I has worked as a lawyer in a private company for the last 18 years.
