BIOGRAPHY
Serhii Poliakov is a Ukrainian artist celebrated for his atmospheric cityscapes and evocative portraiture. His unique oil painting techniques, marked by rich layers and expressive brushwork, capture the vibrant life and subtle moods of urban settings. Poliakov’s work often explores the interplay of light and shadow in scenes of bustling metropolises, where the energy of modern life meets timeless visual harmony. Influenced by the techniques of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masters, Poliakov creates compositions that are both dynamic and contemplative, resonating with viewers through their vivid color palettes and nuanced textures. His landscapes of Kyiv and other urban environments invite an immersive experience, blending realism with emotive abstraction.

"Art, for me, is self-expression. Not everything can be put into words, so atmosphere and feeling take center stage, while details and realism come second."
