Hlib Franko is a Ukrainian artist whose large-scale expressive paintings reinterpret classical artistic traditions. Working primarily with landscape and botanical subjects, he brings renewed energy to traditional motifs through bold brushwork, rich color, and textured oil surfaces.

Born into a family of artists, Franko studied Monumental Painting at the Kosiv Institute of Applied and Decorative Arts before earning a Master’s degree in Restoration of Easel and Monumental Painting from the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture in Kyiv. After graduating, he taught painting restoration before dedicating himself fully to his artistic practice.

Franko has exhibited internationally, and his works are held in private and corporate collections across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. His practice explores the boundary between figuration and abstraction, combining classical techniques with continuous experimentation to develop a distinctive contemporary visual language.
