Biography
Hello Art Finder Team, my name is Bogdan Shiptenko, i am an Artist from Ukraine. I was born in 1994.
I have known about your platform for a long time from my fellow artists and I must say that I like your site and the conditions it offers.
Education: received a Master's degree from the Ukrainian National University at the Faculty of Fine Arts.
I have been drawing all my life, since childhood, I have been painting professionally for over 12 years and have been selling my works for over 8 years. Painting is like a breath of fresh air for me. I can't go a day without even a little sketch or working on painting.
I get inspired to create my paintings when I go out for a walk in the city and it doesn’t matter in my own city or on a travel. In general it is the urban environment, its surroundings, architecture, cafes, crossroads, bustling city lifeand especially how people interact with this urban environment that inspires me.
In most cases, I show those things that in everyday life we simply do not notice or pass by. I give people the opportunity to see in my paintings a captured moment from their life.
My earlier painting are famous for urban landscapes, architectural and street scenes, urban scenes, but gradually I moved from the urban landscape to figurative painting. Since I realized that I am more interested in people in large numbers, their interaction with society and elements of urban paraphernalia.
My artwork is distinguished by its recognizable style and uniqueness of plots, in my works, I combine figures of people with elements, objects of urban paraphernalia. For example my long-term series of paintings. "People on the White", which the which reveals various topics of public life, such as: "Urban society", "Excessive consumption of modern world", "Human activities", "Winter Vacation", "Coffee Break" and others.
I love watercolor painting for its transparency, expression. Watercolor is a magical material, as magic happens right when you draw it, it gives a lot of interesting effects that the artist does not expect and he would not have come up with them. Basically, I paint with watercolors on cotton paper and on canvas on a stretcher, but among other things I like to experiment with acrylic paints, combine textural pastes, and other interesting materials.
The vocation of the artworks is to show the world what he really is and to evoke powerful emotions from art, because it is nice when a person finds and recognizes himself in a painting, sees in it moments from his own life.
He took part in the first International and All-Ukrainian Biennale: "Sea of Watercolors", the Luxembourg International Prize Luxemburg Art Prize and others.
