Sergey Piskunov

Sergey Piskunov is a Ukrainian-born artist based in the Netherlands, known for his hyperrealistic oil paintings that explore themes of identity, vulnerability, and the contrast between appearance and reality.

Working primarily in large scale, Piskunov combines meticulous technical precision with symbolic imagery, creating portraits and figurative works that invite viewers to look beyond the surface. His long-running Masks series examines the roles people adopt and the layers they construct around themselves, while maintaining a strong focus on the human presence behind them.

His work has been exhibited internationally, including solo and group exhibitions in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Germany, Israel, Singapore, and Ukraine. In 2026, he presented the solo exhibition *Maskers* at Pulchri Studio in The Hague. His paintings have been featured in publications and collected by private collectors worldwide.

Piskunov was awarded the Juror's Choice Award by the Circle Foundation for the Arts in 2026. Alongside his artistic practice, he continues to pursue a highly detailed approach to painting that often requires hundreds of hours of work for a single piece.
