Ivan Tsapiak

Ivan Tsapiak is a Ukrainian painter and graphic artist based in Lviv.
Art has become the core of his life and practice, shaping both his visual language and his way of engaging with the world.

He holds a Master’s degree in Glass Art from the Lviv National Academy of Arts (2005). From 2013 to 2015, he taught drawing and artistic anatomy at the Academy. Today, he works as a freelance artist and tutor, focusing primarily on painting and graphic works.

Tsapiak’s artistic path includes experience with various media—painting, drawing, glass, wood, sculpture—as well as iconography and church mural painting. This multidisciplinary background informs his sensitive approach to form, symbolism, and composition.

Integrity is central to his artistic credo—both toward himself and the viewer. His works create a contemplative space where imagination, symbols, and emotion intersect. Through subtle narratives and dreamlike imagery, the artist invites viewers to discover personal meanings and inner stories within each piece.

Ivan Tsapiak regularly participates in national and international exhibitions and continues to expand his presence within the contemporary art scene.
