Valerii Klymchuk

Location: Ukraine

From the early childhood I have developed my passion for art.
My parents were helping me to keep my passion for arts by exposing me to heavy work.
Started painting in February 2011. It was a group painting session with my friends, now I am not able to stop ever since.
My art is the representation of my thoughts, fears, moods, memories or believes. My paintings appear spontaneously, regardless of what I want them to be – they are always end up being an expression or manifestation of my inner subconscious mind, the only technique I am using – it being creative at every stage of creating a painting and keeping it balanced at the same time. There is to be many interpretations of my works, they can be opposite to each other, I use my own interpretation of my work when I am giving them names.
My works Influenced a lot by my childhood, the image of my own mother is present in many of works, a lot of my works have religious theme, some of them are political, there is also “mood paintings” that either show the level of my inspiration or the level of “dedication”. All of the images you see on my paintings have not been seen in a real life, all images come out of the depth of my imagination.
Just like a photo images clear by developing in a chemical bath the same way my paintings appear in my brain, then paint becomes a fixer.
My paintings are revealing the act of creation. Untouched and yet unprejudiced style, holographic vision are to involve viewers into the depths of their own minds.

Art Statement
We were given all the best qualities we have in order to utilize it with our love and compassion for the sake of Harmony and Peace.
My subject is egocentrically connected with worshiping A Human Being in an unconventional way.
The style of my paintings is abstract. It allows me to expand the range of perception of my artworks. From this perspective some of my latest works can be seen as religious icons, as they depict saints and also they alert faith in you, faith in God living inside everyone of us and also faith in purpose of life.
Archaic subject and Modern approach give birth and feed the emotions, and my paintings are just like mirrors sending light into the darkness of men’s hearts.

Abstract Iconography

Abstract Iconography by Valerii David Klymchuk

Revival of External Form that expresses lost and almost forgotten moral Ideals and inner eternal truth

Abstract Icons, those symphonies of form and color are Transcended Acts of Creation are here to mark the beginning of a new era, to start awakening from Despair and unbelief, lack of purpose and Ideal in today’s life.

Loud Soft and Gentle Colors and Steady Heartbeat of lines are simply teasing your logic my dear observer. They are realistic and symbolic at the same time; they challenge conventional knowledge and skill of centuries creating a new theory of Abstract Iconography. My works are picturing the outer side of my deepest religious feeling – The Faith: Faith in me, faith in higher purpose of life, faith in God within me and God within those of you who can feel love and compassion. By sweat of the brow, overcoming my personal suffering and fears driven by some unseen hand I came to this subject.

This art is featuring a Mother and a child. The mother symbolizes the infinite fertility of true art. Archaic subject and Modern approach give birth and feed the emotions, sending light into the darkness of men’s hearts. My subject is egocentrically connected with worshiping A Human Being in an unconventional way. You were given all the best you have in order to utilize it with your love and compassion for the sake of Harmony and Peace.

Let my Unseen Pleasurable Colored Music soften your heart and speak to your soul and guide you beyond the limits of your previous sensational experiences, my Dear Spectator.

My subject is egocentrically connected with worshiping A Human Being in an unconventional way.

Archaic subject and Modern approach give birth and feed the emotions, sending light into the darkness of men’s hearts.

The image of the mother and child turned out to be the most fascinating for me.

“Let My People Go”

My thoughts about justice and injustice at all levels of our society had brought my attention to some religious themes long time ago when I was a child.

The style of my paintings is abstract. It allows me to expand the range of perception of my artworks. From this perspective some of my latest works can be seen as religious icons, as they depict saints. And also by its definition icon is any depiction of saints designed to excite people’s faith.

“Owl (March 8)”

I was brought up in an atheist non-religious family. But with age, I have reconsidered my attitude toward Church and religion; I believe that they play very important role in our life and the value of our faith is impossible to overestimate.

I became more religious a few years ago. At some point, I had that feeling of inner emptiness - and it led me to the church for the first time. I get this peaceful feeling of comfort in my mind at church - that's why I keep going there.

“Gabriel and Virgin (The Immaculate Conception)”

“Cloning Sexually (Pregnancy)”

Archaic subject and Modern approach give birth and feed the emotions, sending light into the darkness of men’s hearts.

I believe that if we wipe off the dust from our glasses that was left there by various social dogmas, or if we take off those glasses and then take a look at my paintings with a naked eye and your mind open, these pictures will alert the faith in you, the faith in yourself, faith in God living inside everyone of us and also faith in God himself.

“Mother of God (Lactation)”
