Biography of KALKOV

Andriy Kalkov (b. 1987, Lutsk, Ukraine) is a visual artist whose practice spans abstract painting, digital graphics, and large-scale mural work. He began his creative journey through graffiti as a teenager, a discovery that sparked his fascination with walls, line, and movement. Kalkov later graduated with a degree in Monumental Art from the Kosiv Institute of Applied and Decorative Arts of the Lviv National Academy of Arts.

Since 2009 he has been developing Circulation, an ongoing abstract series centered on the spiral - an ancient universal symbol of perception and continuity. He reinterprets this form through contemporary geometric abstraction, op art, and digital visual language. Since 2020, his work has increasingly absorbed architectural influences and elements of digital surrealism.

Kalkov has created numerous murals and interior artworks, working with clients such as Bosch, UNIT.City, Ring Ukraine, KLO, Roshen, Urban Planet and others. He has participated in multiple festivals and exhibitions, including Mirrus Gallery (Denver, 2022), Urban Spree & Uniwave (Berlin, 2022), Lviv Street Gallery (2021), MSUMK and TSUM, Kyiv (2017). He continues to develop a hybrid visual language across digital and analog media.
