Oleksii Gnievyshev, a talented German Contemporary figurative painter

THE MYTHS & LEGEND COLLECTION  – Here is Oleksii’s most refined painting of The Myths & Legends series, and the image captures the story of Gaia. Greek mythology is rich in great deities that represented diverse aspects of existence and wielded significant influence over the world. Gaia, or Gaea, was the divine personification of the Earth and the matriarch of all things in existence. She was often called the Earth goddess, but she was more than that. She was the Earth itself.

Oleksii Gnievyshev, a talented contemporary figurative painter, was born in Kyiv, Ukraine, and now resides in Bruhl, Germany. He joined the ICAS gallery as one of its artists, offering his beautiful and captivating genre of realism, as well as abstract storytelling paintings that depict the myths and legends of forgotten times.

Oleksii was drawn to art as a child and honed his skills through formal art education. He enrolled in the Academy of Art in Kyiv in 2009 and earned his degree in art in 2014. During his studies, he was mentored by Volodimir Bagalika, a renowned artist who dedicated his spare time to teaching creative art and painting.

Oleksii’s paintings often revolve around myths and legends, capturing powerful images of human and animal forms interacting with the natural world. His finished artwork appears vivid and energised, with animals embodying sentiments that interact with the characters, telling a story. Later in his career, his oriental paintings showcased his strong influence on Asian culture, particularly Japanese culture, stemming from his personal interest and historical family background.

When asked about the inspiration behind his work, Oleksii spoke about his fascination with the magnetic energies that individuals emit and the specific kinds of wisdom that animals possess. His work combines abstract realism, which is characterised by patterns, colours, texture, and lines that exist independently of external motivation, with realistic art, which aims to replicate natural forms. This unique style blends classical realism with a modern, refreshing approach, becoming Oleksii’s signature.

Oleksii graduated from the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture of Ukraine and participated in many art events and exhibitions, receiving a nomination for the “Gold Foundation of Ukraine.” His original works are held in international collections worldwide, including those in Ukraine, Germany, India, and the United Kingdom. He continues to work and live in his studio in Bruhl, Germany, creating beautiful and mesmerising paintings that captivate the viewer’s imagination.
