Sergej Ovcharuk - Impressionist (Hooked on Colour)

"Breathing, Painting -- Living!" Hooked on Colour

"Sergej Ovcharuk (Sulima) is a dreamer and a romantic, with the soul of a sailor and the delicate hands of an artist. Sergej's paintings offer a fresh view on the classic style, and immerse us in the mysteriously spiritual world of impressionism. The amazing combination of the old master's painting traditions with expressive colors awakens imagination and leads to deep philosophical thinking.

Sergej Ovcharuk was born in 1963, in Lvov, Ukraine. He graduated from the Khmelnitskiy secondary school of arts. His youthful romanticism led him to wander to the walls of the oldest marine alma-mater, LVIMY (now State Marine Academy), St.Peterburg, Russia. However the influence of this historical city, one of the world centers of the arts and culture, again aroused in him the strongest desire toward creativity, and to the further study of painting.

Meeting with an outstanding artist-colorist Vladimir Borodin, was a determining event in Sergej's life. A combination of the romantic-symbolic sense of the world and passion for color became the foundation of Sergej's professional development as a painter.

Sergej dedicated his efforts over many years to uncovering the secrets and technical skills of the Golden Century's old Holland masters (17c.), which had strengthened, inspired and broadened his creative base. And thus his personal, intimate philosophical world of the simple but deep life's stories was born: "The world of the talking things" in the still life genre.

However, the romantic component of the artist's soul inevitably led him to impressionism, where the foundation of Sergej's creativity met expression and harmony of color, which constantly attract us with their dazzling newness and unpredictability. For his impressionistic paintings, master uses a spatula -- a special iron flat instrument- for the applying of oils.

After graduation from the Academy, Sergej spent 7 years as a deep sea navigator and deck officer. Eventually, he anchored in the beautiful and quiet Klaipeda harbor, on Lithuanian Baltic Sea, where he lives with his wife and son, and continues to paint. Master's artistic talent is not limited to painting. He has an outstanding bass which he sings with in the church's choir.

Sergej is a Member of the Zhemaitija's Artist's Association, Lithuania. He participated in the collective and personal exhibitions in Lithuania, Estonia, Ukraine, Switzerland, as well as "Art-Gallery of V. Borodin", St, Petersburg, Russia.

His works are represented in the private collections in USA, Canada, Switzerland, Germany, Great Britain, Belgium, Estonia, Lithuania, Russia, and Ukraine."
