‘Painting of Awareness’

Nonconceptual abstract painting by Igor Kanifolsky.

“I first decided to put an image on a canvas after the ‘Introduction to the Gate of Tantra’ in 2004 by Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche, meditation master and renowned Tibetan Buddhist teacher. It seems to me that a certain trace of that Initiation can be traced in my paintings.

Although I did not receive a formal education, I had the opportunity to participate twice in exhibitions in the ART-HALL Gallery of the Hermitage-Vyborg Exhibition Center when I lived in St. Petersburg, Russia. I currently reside in Kyiv, Ukraine.

I am inspired by ideas, people, nature. I like to embody the abstract images associated with them. I prefer using traditional materials, particularly oil on canvas.”
