Vadim Shamanov
Born: 1973
Hometown: Kremenchuk
Based in: Bratislava
Vadim Shamanov is a professional artist with over 20 years of painting experience who lives and works in Bratislava, Slovakia. He has participated in numerous exhibitions in Europe. Interest in fine arts, music and photography originated in childhood. Received a musical and painting education. But it was painting that became the main way of his self-expression and self-realization. The main sources of his inspiration are the music and art of great artists such as Richter, Kandinsky, Pollock. As a way of self-expression, Vadim Shamanov chose abstract painting, which allows the author to convey his creative ideas through the colour and texture of oil paint. His abstract works are distinguished by layering, complex composition, as well as a desire for volume and depth. In his constant search for new means of expression, he often experiments with materials and surfaces using steel sheets or OSB boards.
