Baltic seagulls (2024) Painting by Henadzy Havartsou

Henadzy graduated from University of Masherov in Vitebsk, Belarus, defended his master's degree at the Faculty of Painting and Graphics (1987 - 1992). From his teacher and mentor, Valentina Liahovich, he received the most important thing - a sense of freedom of creativity. Now he lives in Poland.

As a person and as an artist, Henadzy draw a lot from his numerous travels, this is how such diverse landscapes and abstractions are created, inspired by the unique colors of different parts of the world. He is constantly on the lookout, experimenting with new painting techniques, new colors, shapes. The predominant technique is oil on canvas, made with a spatulas and brushes. If we talk about abstractions, then at the beginning he never assume how the work will look, and after the first few strokes of a brush or a spatula, it is the canvas that dictates each subsequent step. Self-expression in his painting is constantly dependent on changes from within and the formation of his own view of the world. He believe that this process is endless and develops in parallel with the development of the worldview of the individual. His works do not pose any limitations to the observer and do not indicate a specific point of view, but rather encourage him to create his own story, to be free in imagining, thus allowing someone to interpret art through his own feelings and emotions.

His works are presented in many private collections in Poland, Germany, Switzerland, France, Great Britain, Israel, Luxembourg, Portugal, USA and others.
