Self portrait with you

Oleksandr Meleshko, Ukraine

My name is Meleshko Oleksandr, I was born in 1997 in Kyiv, Ukraine. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in fine arts from Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University. Painting inspires me because of its brilliance and the way how impressionists and expressionists visualize it. Mostly, I take my inspiration from Cy Twombly’s, Jean-Michel Basquiat’s and Jackson Pollock’s masterpieces. In my opinion, the color is the most important element on the canvas. Colors can represent much more that we suggest, they can have a different meaning for different people. Having only the name of the painting as a tip, the viewers experience it on their own way, depending on their way of understanding.
