civic (2017) Drawing by Oleg Kaznacheiev

I'm Ukrainian self-taught artist. Decision to start learning art came to me in 2016. After 1 year of drawing exercises and subject knowledge gathering I have started uploading my first works for selling.

In the beginning it was just pencil realism for even more practice and technique improvements. Next step was learning colors by using acrylics. After some pop-art artworks I have started experimenting by adding a bit of self developed stylization to realism and also some geometric shapes.

I made a break for more self-taught and from January 2020 my productivity came back and I finally found the most interesting direction for my future artworks.

In my new artworks series you can find harmony of several styles, materials and techniques. Acrylics, watercolour, liners and graphite playing equal role on paper surface. Smooth realism sensitively dancing with abstract geometric shapes. Cold and warm colours creating contrast feeling of pleasure.
