Roman Opalinski

Roman Opalinski masterfully connects the gold glories of Byzantine art and the aesthetic of eastern icons with a touch of French Impressionism.

Born in Western Ukraine, Opalinski grew up in between different cultures that in spired his way to create compelling boards with mix media. Since childhood he was surrounded by stunning landscapes and Ukrainian folk art.

He creates unique works on wood where the east meets the west: inspired by old orthodox icons Opalinski elaborates his stunning works in a way never seen before. Fairylike atmospheres and enchanted lands where graceful figures give life to stories which weave together.
