Oleh Minko is a Ukrainian nonconformist artist representing "hermetic" art. He created images with a double meaning, where he narrated the theme of the work through the symbols of objects and human gestures. The style of his paintings is influenced by ancient Ukrainian iconography and European modernists: Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, and Giorgio de Chirico. Oleg Minko's works are kept in state museums of national importance in Ukraine and private collections in Ukraine and abroad. The artist had personal exhibitions in London, Helsinki, Brussels, Copenhagen, Washington, and Vilnius.
The works of the late period of Oleg Minko's creativity are a kind of information code that affects the viewer's subconscious, encouraging him to think. The artist deliberately fills the composition with various archetypal signs before understanding what the viewer must think about and decipher in detail. The artist communicates with people and encourages them to engage in dialogue to form common values and find spiritual guidelines.
