Alexander Aksyonov

Professional artist from Ukraine, now working in Kyiv. His first solo exhibition took place in 1979, featuring a series of stained glass windows at a student club. Since then, he has participated in numerous group exhibitions, competitions, and is represented in both permanent and solo expositions. Aksyonov’s creative interests extend beyond painting to invention, music, choreography, sports. In 2017, he became the Ukrainian ballroom dancing champion. He believes the theme of dance is underrepresented in visual art, which inspires him to explore it in his work. His paintings often center on women—dancers who embody love, expectation, passion, and the fragile beauty of life’s fleeting moments. Through expressionist collages of color and form, he reflects the emotions evoked by feminine grace. His works invite viewers to rediscover joy, hope, and faith in creation through the luminous energy of movement and the beauty of the human spirit.
