Painting is jealous and requires that a person belongs to it whole. An emotional outburst that forces the artist to turn his soul inward and leave it on the canvas – this is how the Ukrainian artist Sergey Piskunov sees the work of his life. Hyperrealistic paintings, possessing their own charm and character, children of a unique inspiration – they reflect, like no other, the inner state of their creator, the depth of his personality and expose him to the outside world. Today, the works of Sergey testify to his talent not only in Ukraine, but also in Germany, Great Britain, USA, Switzerland and many other countries.

Sergey Piskunov is the embodiment of a free artist, independent of market trends, whose faithful compass and guide is the perception of the world through the prism of his own inspiration and talent.
