About Olexiy Derzhavin

Exhibiting Member of  Federation of Canadian Artists (FCA)

While myriad subjects captivate my imagination, landscape holds a special place in my heart. The ever-changing, extraordinary beauty of nature serves as a profound source of my creative energy. The perpetual quest to capture the enigmatic light and majestic grandeur of the natural world compels me to continuously experiment and, I hope, evolve as an artist.

I have been painting since my early years. My artistic journey is a synthesis of formal education at the drawing school and architectural studies at the university, complemented by a deep personal exploration of the techniques and styles of renowned painters, workshops, and apprenticeships with professional artists. Over the past three years, I have had the privilege of refining my skills under the mentorship of Vladimir Ribatchok, a distinguished painter, a signature member of the Oil Painters of America, and a graduate of the Repin Academy of Fine Arts in Saint Petersburg. His invaluable guidance has profoundly organized my knowledge and skills, providing me with a tremendous boost as an artist.

While I am perpetually experimenting, my work predominantly embraces oil and an impressionistic style, enriched by classic multilayered approaches and techniques.
