Vadim Voitekhovitch

With his fantastical vision of the Victorian era—which he populates with steam-powered machines and vessels of all kinds—Vadim offers us a fantastic steampunk epic whose highly pictorial style is striking. These moments “captured” by his imagination are true transfigurations of an era and a reflection on the relationship between humans and machines. 

During its first presentation in France, as part of a virtual exhibition, all 32 of Vadim Voitekhovitch’s artworks were sold on the very day of the exhibition’s launch. 

Gouache, oil and acrylic paintings are highly durable. However, a few precautions should be taken to ensure that they will keep for a long time. We recommend that you avoid exposing them to direct light, in order to reduce their exposure to UV rays. Particular attention should be paid to their support in order to protect them from humidity; canvas and wooden supports are particularly sensitive to this element. We recommend that you avoid any sudden changes in temperature or humidity, which could lead to tension or loosening of the canvas, requiring the intervention of a framer.

Born in 1963 in Mozyr, Belarus, Vadim Voitekhovitch was the son of a Soviet army officer and a mother who worked as a doctor. He grew up in a cultured household, visiting museums and galleries from a very early age. Since his parents opposed an artistic career, which they considered too precarious, he enrolled in 1980 at the vocational art school in Bobruisk, Belarus, to study set design and interior design. After graduating in 1985, he initially worked as a decorator in Tallinn, Estonia—a typical career path in the waning days of the USSR, where independent art remained largely inaccessible outside official channels. It was only after the dissolution of the USSR, in 1991–1992, that he was finally able to devote himself fully to painting.  Complete biography.
