Evgeni Gordiets is a Soviet trained contemporary surrealist phenomenon.
Scouted at the age of five as a child prodigy, Evgeni attended the National
School of Fine Arts: received his Masters Degree from the State University
of Fine Arts and his Ph.D. from the State Academy of Fine Art, all in Kiev,
Ukraine. After concluding his studies, he joined the National Art University
as a Professor of Art. His award-winning work has gained widespread
recognition and is held in museum and private collections worldwide. Mr.
Gordiets was honored by his peers in Kiev, where from 1977 through 1986
he received accolades, awards and grants ranging from the first prize in
United Nations exhibitions to the Top Artist Achievement Award of the
Ukraine.
Gordiets' paintings are filled with a profound sense of calm and peace,
conveying a longing for eternity and a place of stillness away from out
hectic culture. He creates a serene dream-like atmosphere where quietly
magical things happen.
"Today, for me, life and painting are one. In my art, the sea, the sky, woman
and child are subjects of importance, eternity. Women, the symbol of love,
motherhood and eternity, have great importance in my art. In life there are
some things that last forever: in my work, I communicate this with the stone
carved forms, the sky and water."”
Gordiets has received numerous awards and, in 1984, Gordiet's book was
published, “"In Just My Canvas". His works are held in public and private
collections located in the United States, Russia, France, Germany, Finland,
Holland, Belgium, Denmark, Poland, Canada, Japan and Hong Kong.
