Dmitriy Vasilenko, a painter educated at the V.A. Ptashinsky Art School No. 1 and now at Krasnodar Art School, works primarily with monotyping. He draws on classic literary themes, notably “The Master and Margarita,” infusing his art with dramatic contrasts of light, monochromatic palettes, and assertive lines. His expressive, associative style—employing elements of chance—sparks the viewer’s imagination. Vasilenko’s evocative images serve as a heartfelt invitation, bridging the gap between reality and a new dimension of feelings, evoking love of life and profound emotional experience.
