V. Tkachenko reveals within each of his paintings a unique story of passion and grace. Incorporating distinctive techniques and a broad palette of colours. Victor Tkachenko has developed his own style of contemporary expressionism. His paintings express emotions that draw the viewer in and ask them to actively contemplate his work. Surrealism with a distinctive gothic intensity best defines Tkachenko’s works. Thee figures transfixed in jewel colours seem to float with barely perceptible buoyancy. Heroic men and women dressed in regal attire, notably the “Royal Collection”, are portrayed in graceful and cultured poses. Nature and her creatures interact joyously with V. Tkachenko’s mesmerizing subjects.

“The Quartet” Series issued in 2001 is a huge success and the entire edition almost sold out. “The Storm” Series has attracted much attention for its originality in concept.
