Maksimenko Vitaliy

Biography

Vitaly Maksimenko was born in Moscow, in 1976. Unlike many modern artists his creative biography has begun not with children's studio and not with art school. Despite the love to drawing shown still since childhood, Vitaly was limited to knowledge gained within the school program for the subject of the same name. All his practice consisted of school drawings, and in sketches on the margins of notebooks and blank sheets. After school, he entered legal university, after which he served in the Internal Affairs Department. But neither during this period, nor after, when Vitaly worked as a lawyer in various commercial organizations, he did not stop drawing, filling free spaces of diaries and workbooks. If necessary, he used his abilities to develop logos and objects of graphic design in the interests of companies with whom he cooperated.
In the spring of 2014, Vitaly began attending individual lessons in the Studio "Talent", where under the guidance of an experienced teacher Morozova O. A. has strengthened his primary skills with theoretical basis and a practical training. It was thanks to her lessons that Vitaly, who until then gravitated solely to graphics, discovered the magic of color, versatility and versatility of painting. Until 2017, he, already an adult, comprehended the science of turning a white sheet (or canvas) into a new colorful world, which absorbed not only the reality depicted on it, but also the artist himself, his feelings, emotions, energy.
Important events in the author's life were two events in his creative life: the victory in the competition "Bulgakov in the illustration" followed by participation in the group exhibition of the same name (Museum Bulgakov, Moscow) and an invitation to participate in the Visionary Art Show, held by Primo Piano LivinGallery (Lecce, Italy). After that, the author began to actively participate in various domestic and foreign competitions, periodically taking various prizes.

Currently, Vitaly Maksimenko is a member of the Creative Union of professional artists and International art Fund, is active in creative activities, participates in various group exhibitions.
