Oleksandr Stovbur

Oleksandr Stovbur (1943-2019) — is a Ukrainian artist, a master of abstract minimalism, and one of the leading figures of the Odesa nonconformist movement. In the 1970s, he joined a group of young artists working in an informal direction. He worked in painting, monumental art, and graphics. His work combines strict form, concise composition, and deep philosophical meaning. Color and structure serve as tools for meditative contemplation.

"Meditation" conveys a sense of inner focus and balance. The composition creates an atmosphere of silence and rhythm, where simple forms and nuanced color transitions generate an effect of harmony and contemplation.

The early 21st century became a period of deeper exploration of themes of tranquility and inner balance. During this time, the artist increasingly turned to minimalist forms, using them to convey profound emotions and cultural traditions.

The painting evokes a feeling of peace and equilibrium. The harmony of form and color makes it both universal and profound, while the minimalist composition allows space for personal interpretations.
