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 late period of Oleh Minko's work is marked by expressionist trends - the artist was no longer afraid to create and express his views and concerns openly. In the center of Oleg Minko's reflections is a man, the problem of his existence in the world. He freely uses color, shapes, and composition as if throwing his thoughts and worries about the future onto the canvas. The artist addresses the viewer and encourages him to think.
