Maxim Bondarenko is a Sacramento-based artist who experiments with color, texture, and composition to create paintings, drawings, and mixed media pieces. His work invites the viewer to enter a space where ordinary objects are reimagined and their visual qualities become symbols.

In mixed media artworks, through careful technical manipulations on cardboard and paint, he strives to create a fresh yet ancient and timeless feel to his artwork. His current art philosophy and techniques are the result of focusing on the Culture of a Stroke and experimenting with “oldened” textures.
