About The Artist:
Alexey Petruhyn is a well-known Ukrainian artist, Member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine, the leading marine painter of the Crimea.
Alexey Petruhyn was born in 1964 in Nikolayev, Ukraine. From early childhood, he watched ships coming in and out the bay, light reflecting on the surface of the water, seagulls soaring in the sky. Later, while living in Odessa, he fell in love with the sea, the spirit of the ancient city, its winding streets, and sunny beaches, the air filled with the aroma of adventures, history, and unmistakable southern character. Alexey went sailing often; he continuously tried to express his emotional exaltation on canvas. He painted for literally days and nights. It is not a coincidence that his paintings are filled with light. Only an artist living near the sea could only develop such a beaming palette: an artist who grew up by the sea, by its waves and reflections; an artist who is spiritually connected to the sea. That is why seascapes are his favorite subject – warm or cold, light or dark – they are always majestic.
Love to painting brought Alexey to Kharkov Academy of Art and Design. Upon Academy, Alexey decided to devote himself to PLENER painting – the most difficult and the most authentic. PLENER is often associated with very uncomfortable conditions, but as a reward, the artist receives the most intimate connection with nature, working in the environment, which is impossible to describe or replicate in the studio. Alexey is a representative of the realistic school of landscape painting. His works are sincere, raw, void of any photographic dryness, rich in color and remarkable in the precision of the moment. Truly, the nature itself is Alexey’s workshop; he travels extensively, exploring every opportunity that his “workshop” gives him. That is why his works are different from one another – nature is always changing.
Alexey is a regular competitor in the most prestigious national and international exhibitions. He holds the title of the member of the Artist’s Union of Ukraine.
…Such a radiant palette can only belong to an artist who grew up by the water….
Alexey Petruhyn prefers to write his life-affirming canvases in the open air, directly studying nature in natural light, capturing the visible world in its inherent constant variability, recreating the unity of man and his environment.
