Gordiets' paintings are filled with a profound sense of calm and peace, conveying a longing for eternity and a place of stillness away from out hectic culture.

He creates a serene dream-like atmosphere where quietly magical things happen.

Today, for me, life and painting are one. I have no desire to follow fashion; it has no value to me. In my art, the sea, the sky, woman and child are subjects of importance, eternity. I have no passion for politics.
I often use in my work, stone carved forms and water - these are symbols of eternity. I love sculpture, and I try to unite it with painting.
Women, the symbol of love, mother-hood and eternity, have great importance in my art. In life, there are some things that last forever; in my work, I communicate this with the sky, water and stones.
In nature, I find a never-ending source of inspiration.

Евгений Гордиец è un artista surrealista Russo, ha frequentato la Scuola Nazionale di Belle Arti, conseguendo il Master ed il dottorato a Kiev, Ucraina.

Per l'artista la vita e la pittura sono una sola cosa. Il senso di eternità viene espresso dall'artista attraverso il cielo, l'acqua e le pietre che insieme alle donne sono il soggetto dei suoi dipinti, che comunicano un'atmosfera serena e sognante, piena di pace e quiete.
