Serhiy Kapusta

My work begins with black — not as a color, but as the absence of light. Into that darkness I set a single bright flash: a red bar, a rising column, a signal that refuses to be swallowed by the night. Each painting is a record of that collision — impulse first, the editing eye second.

For over twenty years I earned my living with my eyes — film, design, print. Now I paint the way I learned to see: fast, at night, trusting the gesture before judgment. I work in acrylic, ink and mixed media on paper and canvas, building tactile surfaces and leaving silence inside them — the active emptiness that lets a painting breathe.

I paint the night not as emptiness, but as the condition that makes light visible.
