"Interior of Saint Sophia Cathedral, (11th century), Kyiv, Ukraine" Fine Art Print

“In watercolor, every stroke is irreversible — just like in life… And that’s exactly what makes it so alive.” Oleksandr DeSiat — Architect & Watercolor Soul 🖌 Ukraine Contemporary Ukrainian artist🎨 whose work always balances between two worlds: the precise lines and spaciousness of architecture and the free, bold flows of paint. His love❤️for drawing was first awakened by his father, and his academic training in Kyiv under the guidance of outstanding professors developed this dual passion. For decades he has led large-scale architectural projects in Ukraine, Italy, EU countries, the UAE, Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan — bringing ambitious ideas to life for international clients. Yet painting 🎨 has always remained his deepest emotional refuge: “All the subtle depths of emotion — support in difficult times, light in darkness, pure joy in the brightest moments — this is what painting gives me. It has been my faithful companion for over 40 years.” His works combine the sense of architectural spaces with emotional depth: sensual nudes, majestic Ukrainian landscapes, expressive figures, meditative compositions. They reside in private collections in USA, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Estonia, India, Canada, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, Taiwan, and Ukraine. If the quiet intimacy of a nude body or the epic breath of the Alps or Carpathians, seascapes touches you — I invite you to feel, reflect, and take home a fragment of soul on paper.
