Alexey Luka art: telling a story
Alexey Luka has indeed a unique and distinguished style, based on geometric abstraction. Using indifferently painting, sculpture and collage according to his needs, he creates colourful puzzles where the colour itself guides the observer in his reconstruction. Geometrical lines and colours interact amongst themselves creating shapes, which suggest something: a face, a landscape, a surreal character, a story, because is what the artist aims to: telling a story, or an entire universe, in an original way.
