I am  Kostiantyn Shyptia.

  I was born and now I live in Ukraine in Sumy town.

  In my painting I want to show life in all of its diversity – imprint the ephemeral paints of instants in the endless stream of time.

  I want to show human passions and griefs, reckless love and burning hatred, melancholy of loneliness and wild gladness, easy sorrow and unrestrained merriment. I do not add myself to any art trend, because I do not want to limit myself scopes of some convenances and art opinion. My works are in private collections in Ukraine and abroad. In my life, as well as in creation my motto is the winged Latin saying: «Dum spiro, spero».
