Yura Burkowskiy

I am an artist and an architect. I live and work in Lviv, Ukraine, where I was born into a family of architects and artists. I started drawing when I was 3 years old. I have always been interested in art, drawing and sketching. Sports cars have always been my real passion. So I decided to combine my two passions - painting and cars. I learned my basic skills from an artist in my native town, who gave me the lifetime journey of painting.
After graduating from the Institute of Architecture I also continue to explore my potential in the fine arts.
There are several styles in my repertoire that include common themes such as landscapes, architecture, automobiles and abstract art.
I find my motives in my hometown and when traveling to other countries. I want to show my vision of some places I have visited to convey their atmosphere.
My work is a way of self-realization and material embodiment of my thoughts and experiences. I'm looking for something new and unique in everything.
My favorite painting styles are modernism, impressionism and abstract painting.
My favorite techniques are watercolor, oil and acrylic.
Van Gogh, Picasso, Monet, Cézanne, Nicolas de Staël, Gerhard Richter, Kazuo Shiraga are the artists who inspire me.
