Anatoliy Menkiv is a Ukrainian artist whose works in the style of abstract expressionism are inspired by travels, life experiences, and social initiatives. His art is an elegant synthesis of creative experimentation, philosophical contemplation, and profound emotions, seamlessly woven with cultural traditions.

Anatoliy Menkiv’s technique is a dynamic blend of traditional and innovative painting methods. His works are characterized by bold, expressive brushstrokes that range from wide, powerful sweeps to more detailed, refined ones. The artist actively uses acrylic and oil paints, but is also unafraid to experiment with fluorescent and metallic hues, which lend his pieces exceptional brightness and visual depth.

Menkiv masterfully combines different textures and techniques, including aerosol paints, stencils, and the use of unexpected materials like relief surfaces and various substrates. This approach allows him to create a sense of layering, where each element of the composition seamlessly transitions into the next, generating both tension and harmony.

His works often play with spatial effects, where artistic elements are organically integrated into abstract compositions, offering the viewer opportunities for a wide range of philosophical and emotional interpretations.

Anatoliy actively uses art as a means of healing. His project "Doctor Heals the Body, Art Heals the Soul" supports wounded soldiers in overcoming trauma through painting, helping them return to life. This deeply humanistic endeavor leaves an imprint on his work, infusing it with warmth and sincerity.

He is also widely recognized as a co-founder of the COW International Design Festival, which unites creative talents from around the world.

Anatoliy has participated in more than 50 international exhibitions, with his paintings housed in museums, galleries, and private collections across Europe, Asia, and America. His vibrant life, intertwined with cultural and social initiatives, makes each of his works a unique story capable of inspiring and connecting with profound emotional layers.
