Biography
Viktor Chumachenko, possessing an academic
foundation of knowledge, reinterpreted the ideas of the avant-garde and formed his own unique style:
each time he finds the ideal balance of chaos and order in the bubbling element of color of his
paintings. The artist's works symbolize and affirm life as such — with its extremes and striving for
balance. The essence of his work is freedom. Freedom of thought, creativity, self-expression. Every
viewer watching these dynamic canvases is filled with their healing impulse. Therefore, it is quite
natural that Viktor's painting awakened the creativity of his many students and
followers.
