About the Artist:
Anatolii Tarasiuk is an abstract artist, composer and videographer born in Ukraine in 1978. When he was 11 years of age, he became a pantomime actor in a professional theater. He started to paint when he was 15 years old and is a self-taught artist. In July of 2022, his family (wife and 3 sons) relocated from Kiev, Ukraine to the USA. Today he lives and continues his art in the triangle area of North Carolina.
Artist Statement:
Tarasiuk’s art style is abstract expressionism with lots of color. He likes to use a palette knife because it draws more on spontaneity and pushes him beyond all that is known. He never has a plan or image in mind for the work when he starts. He lets whatever comes out flow, without judgment, and keeps creating until it is the heart and not the mind that finally tells him that a piece is done. His biggest inspiration is the vision of his art giving feelings of joy and hope to each viewer.
