BIO
Viktor Vinichenko is a Ukrainian-born and Barcelona-based visual artist whose practice investigates the transformative power of art as a response to profound personal change.
Formerly an accomplished interior designer, Vinichenko turned to painting during a pivotal period in his life. What began as a spontaneous gesture soon developed into a focused and deeply emotive practice. His works channel complex inner states into layered visual compositions that transcend traditional representation.
His work has been exhibited internationally, with presentations in Kyiv, Paris, Milan, Barcelona, and Athens, as well as within the framework of projects associated with the Venice Biennale.
Vinichenko’s growing presence in the contemporary art world reflects both the authenticity of his vision and the emotional resonance of his work.
______________________
The story Viktor Vinichenko is a profound and emotional journey of self-discovery through art, which became his way of expressing both pain and love.
After experiencing personal tragedy, a former successful businessman drastically changed his life by stepping into the world of painting.
Art became his salvation. His first creative steps were triggered by a mysterious impulse when a medium advised him to pick up a pencil and start drawing without thinking about the result.
This opened a portal to another world for him.
Through painting, he was able to express the pain that had built up over months of suffering.
His artworks are not merely artistic pieces but deep emotional states, which change and capture different phases of his inner journey.
The artist frequently encountered mystical signs that affirmed his connection with his late beloved, and this connection guided his creativity. Each new sign only strengthened his belief that the universe was leading him on a new path.
His paintings do not simply depict images; they radiate energy—the energy of love and light that breaks through the dark and dense layers of paint.
This energy could be felt at exhibitions in Paris, Milan, Barcelona, and even at the Venice Biennale.
