Through art, I face doubt, tension, and beauty — searching for clarity in the noise around me. Art is how I stay present and take part in the world as it is.
about me
I’m Oleksiy Zhukov, an artist born in Ukraine exploring the intersections of emotion, presence, and form through open-ended artistic practices. I don’t confine myself to any single medium — painting is my current focus, but I stay open to whatever form resonates and serves the work.
My creative process is instinctive and experimental. I’m constantly searching for new ways to express myself, enjoying the journey as much as the result. For me, art is a way to stay present and connected to the world around me, a practice rooted in honesty and curiosity rather than commercial trends or expectations.
I deeply appreciate art made from the soul — sincere and genuine work that speaks beyond surface appearances. This approach shapes everything I do, whether it’s on canvas, digital media, or any other form. My goal is to create pieces that reflect not just my experience, but also invite others to find their own meaning.
