Ihor Byčkivskyj

Artist profile

Ihor Bychkivskyy was born in the historical city of Lviv. Since 2000, he has been living in Prague, where he has devoted his free time to painting since 2007. His inspiration arises from a wide range of subjects—landscapes, flowers, animals, human figures, still lifes, and abstract compositions. Although he does not align himself with any specific artistic movement, his style is closest to new impressionism. He paints primarily with oil using a palette knife, creating artworks full of rich textures, dynamic color palettes, and emotional clarity. Recently, he began painting in an original technique called "plyontanism."(from the Ukrainian word "plyontaty" - to weave, intertwine, thread) in which paint is applied in thin colored lines that intertwine at different angles, creating the effect of volume and luminescence.
