Tiberiy Szilvashi
Rejecting representation as the primary purpose of painting, Tiberiy Szilvashi, works with color, rhythm, light, and space as autonomous categories. His paintings do not depict a specific image or narrative; instead, they create a distinctive perceptual state in which color acquires an almost tangible presence.
A central aspect of Szilvashi’s artistic practice is the search for connections between abstraction, spiritual experience, and cultural tradition. In his works, color ceases to function merely as a formal element and becomes an environment—a contemplative space where the viewer encounters not an image, but the very act of seeing.
In 1966, he graduated from the Taras Shevchenko Republican Art School, and in 1972 from the Kyiv State Art Institute (now the National Academy of Arts of Ukraine).
In 1995, Silvashi received the “Artist of the Year” award in Ukraine and a scholarship from the Municipality of Munich.
The artist’s curatorial projects were presented at the International Art Festival in Kyiv in 1996 and 1998.
In 2013, Silvashi became an academician of the National Academy of Arts of Ukraine.
The artist’s works are kept in public and private collections in Munich, Vienna, New Jersey, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, Uzhhorod, Kyiv and other cities of Europe and the USA.
He lives and works in Kyiv.
