About Valentin

Biography

Hey.

My name is Valentin (and my original name is Khodakivskyi Vasyl).I am an artist from Kiev, Ukraine. It is an ancient beautiful city where beautiful people and talented artists live.

I'm an artist from early childhood and all my life I do only this.

Many years of study, many years of practice. This improves the skill of painting, drawing, graphics.

My work is multilateral. But here I want to reveal and show the beauty and eroticism of the female body by means of painting, drawing and watercolor. Describing nature is also part of my work presented on these pages.

I work with different techniques: Oil, acrylic and watercolor, and other graphical tools. I  use palms, fingers, brushes, palette knifes and more.

  I always thought that is main for an artist there is a skill of operation by instrument, ability to express the senses, emotions. But… I understand now, that main there is success and ability to provide self painting in the contemporary art. It is unimportant there is talent or not. And it is sorrowful. And anyway I create and I live by these.

Member of the National Union of Artists since 1992.

I hope my work will please you.
