The Fall of Pink Floyd Group Print

CV of the artist Andrii Klishyn I was born on February 27, 1958 in the city of Kirovobad, Azerbaijan Republic of the USSR. My grandfather Oleksiy Klishin moved there due to hunger and poverty from the Orenburg region, where free Cossack immigrants from Ukraine lived, following the Stolypin reform of 1906. My parents: father is a high-class machine operator, coordinator, mother is a German teacher, almost immediately after his birth they moved to East Kazakhstan, to the city of Ust-Kamenogorsk. I lived there for 15 years, finished school and grew up. In 1975, he moved to the Crimea, and in 1978 he settled in Eastern Ukraine, in the city of Horlivka. He graduated from technical and economic institutes and worked as an engineer, a teacher, then in the field of insurance, finance and a bank. Since May 2014, a forced migrant, he has been living in Kyiv. As a professional artist, I started my career late, at the age of 61. But it is possible that it was supposed to happen that way. Everything has its time. Rich life experience became the source of my creativity. My art is ambiguous and unlike any other, probably because, "I paint with my heart." Sometimes I use intuitive drawing, namely: not from nature and not from a photo, but only what fits in the subconscious, in the soul, in the heart. Most importantly and completely unexpected for me, after a series of works, I began to understand where my images come from... I think that I or my essence saw them in our past or future lives. Despite my small experience, I already have more than two hundred paintings, about forty of them have found "their home" in private collections and museums. (One painting is in the Lutsk Art Museum, and two paintings are in the Museum of Modern Art of the Korsak Family).
