In 'Episode 4: THE FIGHT' by Vadim Ponomarenko, every brushstroke, every color comes to life, telling the story of Gilgamesh's fight against the Bull of Heaven from the Epic of Gilgamesh. The artist masterfully interweaves abstract forms and mythological elements, creating not only a visual representation of an ancient myth, but also provoking the viewer to think about the themes of struggle, worship and sacrifice that are relevant throughout time. Here abstractionism is not just a style - it is a language through which the work expresses deep mythological roots and a modern vision.
Vadim Ponomarenko (Vadisİst) is a contemporary Russian artist. Vadim was born in 1968, in the Saratov region. In 1983 he graduated with honors from the Mineralovodsk Art School. I dreamed of becoming an architect, but life decreed otherwise, and Vadim received an economic education. Despite the daily workload, Vadim always gravitated towards creativity and continued to improve his artistic skills by attending the department of additional art education at the Moscow Art School at the Russian Academy of Arts and the Saratov Art School named after A.P. Bogolyubov. Vadim studied the properties of oil and acrylic, was engaged in wood painting and illustration. In 2022, having moved to Turkey, Vadim made drawing his main activity. Now Vadim creates most of his works in the graphic avant-garde style and in the sketching style. In graphics, he is attracted by the conciseness and clarity of lines, strokes, and geometrically verified intersection of planes. Sketching allows you to capture and capture a moment, convey its atmosphere and mood. Vadim's works are based on historical and mythological subjects, as well as on impressions from visiting architectural monuments and theatrical performances.
