Kostiantyn Nikitchenko

My name is Konstantin and I was born in the Russian Federation in the Irkutsk region. I grew up among the Taiga and forests, and since childhood I was inspired by the nature that surrounded me wild pristine. Remembering my early childhood, it began with a pencil in my hands. I drew everything I saw around me, and of course what I imagined, my childhood abstraction. At a young age I moved to Ukraine and began experimenting with sculpture and bas-relief. I work with different materials: wood, plastic, clay. Oil paints were also my friends and helped me create landscapes as well as experiment and create icons that are popular in Russia and Ukraine.

In 2022, when the well-known events began - the war, I, in order to avoid violence against myself or other people, left Ukraine and came to the United States. Now I practice mixed technique bas-relief and painting in abstract style. I think it is something new because many people are surprised by my techniques they are very interested but it is new for the public..
