Nazar Symotiuk, a contemporary Ukrainian artist, has made significant strides in his exploration of abstract wood plastic, unearthing new pictorial and visual possibilities within this traditional medium. Drawing inspiration from impressionism, pointillism, and optical art, Symotiuk adeptly synthesizes these influences to create captivating works that push the boundaries of artistic expression.
Op art emerges as a central focus in Symotiuk's oeuvre, offering a fertile ground for the realization of his creative visions. Through three-dimensional compositions, he seamlessly blends the minimalism of geometric shapes with vibrant color contrasts, thereby amplifying the emotional impact on the viewer.
Educated at the Lviv National Academy of Arts, with a specialization in the Department of Artwood, Symotiuk now serves as a teacher within the same department. His expertise spans both sculpture and painting, allowing him to explore diverse avenues of artistic expression with proficiency and finesse.
Symotiuk's artworks have garnered international acclaim, finding homes in private collections across the globe, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Italy, Japan, Australia, and Taiwan.
