Vladimir Vladislav Simenok

I am a self-taught artist who started painting in 2024. Since 2024 I have been travelling extensively, covering 32 countries — Albania, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Cambodia, Czechia, Egypt, Estonia, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Italy, Laos, Malaysia, Nepal, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Slovakia, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, Vanuatu, Vatican and Vietnam — of a current tally of 54.

Induced by the grief of losing a child. Pursuing travel and art were the alternative to serving in the Ukrainian foreign legion. With the focus of my art to invite people to pause, converse and reflect.

The intention of my art is to create a point in space which can exist in the form of counsel and entertainment, bringing people together to converse and speculate on its impression. Whilst simultaneously being a place for the viewer’s expression of thought and emotion. At that exact point in time. An invitation to draw you into a complete standstill, pausing oneself from the ever-turning idiosyncratic journey that is life.
