About

Vitaliy Mashchenko

I am a modern artist who works mainly with a palette knife and oils.

To make peace with parents who did not approve painting, I started working as a graphic designer. It gave me a broader perspective and more opportunities to develop my style. I continued my experiments, until 2014 when I could not resist my passion and came back to painting. The palette knife finally gave the freedom to complete the piece of art in one breath. It was like wearing comfortable sneakers but in the painting creation process.

My color palette does not include an abundance of colors. It is based on the philosophy that asceticism in using the color palette triggers the artist’s skill, like Paganini who skillfully performed on the same string.
