Art critics regard Stanislav Plutenko as one of the greatest surrealist artists in the world.
Stanislav Plutenko’s deep commitment to creating works of significant cultural value is evident. His paintings captivate viewers not just through his carefully chosen themes, but also with the fine detail achieved with his unique painting technique.
Many of Plutenko’s works are studies of humans interacting with a complex and ever-changing reality. His paintings spark curiosity and inspire deep discussions with their rich narrative.
An example of a universal theme permeating Stanislav Plutenko’s work is the tension between man’s material and spiritual nature.
Man’s spiritual self no longer evolves but de-volves. Man wants to be part of this world yet needs to cast off the shackles of civilization that has turned on him.

The backdrop for Plutenko’s paintings is frequently urban. The cities in decline, in ruin, with man constantly wanting to escape from his own creations. Man is burning bridges, throwing money into the fire. Forgotten books, clocks, factories – man purposefully destroys the lynchpins of our civilization to free the spiritual side of man.
But haven’t we seen all this destruction and rebirth thousands of times? What have we learned? Is this man’s nature, and if so, can it ever change?
We selected certain works by Stanislav that analyze the human condition. We picked paintings that retell familiar Biblical tales, but in a modern way that remains relevant to current events. This is the magic of Plutenko. His artwork, no matter when it was created and on what subject matter appears to be fresh, relevant, and holding universal truths.
We are compelled to show Plutenko’s paintings because he poses profound questions of our existence in a gentle manner – with a touch whimsy and fantasy, but without judging. He always allows the viewers to see a reflection of their own experiences and beliefs in his works. He does not preach or provoke but rather nudges us to analyze our own views like no other contemporary artist.
