Still Life with Coffee Paintin

Ivan Kolisnyk, Украина

I'm Ivan Kolisnyk. I was born in 1961 in Ukraine Poltavs'ka region. I graduated from Kyiv Polytechnic University in 1984. Since then I have lived and worked in Cherkasy, Ukraine. I enjoy life. And I just love painting. And I depict everything that affirms life. Either a landscape or still life, portrait or conversation piece. It was important to find own painting style and feature. Not only Ukrainian artists, who I took lessons from, influenced my artistic style but also great masters of the past: Van Gogh, Cezanne, Degas etc. Artist changes during all the life. His style and aesthetic views change too. Only devotion to art has to be constant. I don’t like mysteries in art I try to communicate with spectator directly.
