In my work, I’m searching for serenity by representing my own inner space. My art process is intuitive, it's a kind of conversation I'm having with the canvas. The language I'm using is colors, shapes, and textures to communicate something that cannot be expressed with words. Painting has become a tool that lets me explain my stories and all the other emotions that make me who I am.
Biography:
Bo Kravchenko is a American contemporary artist of Ukrainian origin. He got his Master’s degree in Book Graphics at Kyiv State Academy of Arts and started painting in 2010 after a long and successful career in creative advertising. His both parents were artists, and art was the focus at home. After graduation, Bogdan published sixteen books with his book illustrations, and then for many years worked at creative agencies in Europe until he found himself on the East coast of Florida. Under the impression of its beauty, he felt the pull to return to painting and photography. Having spent a life collaborating with galleries, artists, and designers, he had a clear idea of what he wanted to work on. Soon he was able to work full-time as a painter, selling his artworks through festivals and online art galleries, participating in solo and group exhibitions. Today, Bogdan sells his paintings to collectors all over the world and exhibits extensively. After a decade of painting his favorite landscape theme, he has gained confidence and technical skills. Today, he tends to work on a larger scale and abstractly, with a focus on light, textures, and how the landscape works in an abstract context.
