BONDERO

BONDERO was born 28.07.1967. 1982-1986 - Baku state art school. 1989-1993 - Stroganov Academy of Design (industrial design).

Bondero works in the style Abstract Surrealism. The convergence between these styles becomes a strategy to attain a new level of emotional integrity. It is possible to conceive of stable and steady abstract forms and at the same time focus on fleeting images and fantasies of surrealism. The meanings of visual language begin to mix with the quirky aesthetics of manifold interpretations. In abstract surrealism Bondero sets new goals and to recognize new trends in contemporary art. Since 2012 Bondero created art group with Iryna Berezhko. Both artists work in different technique. They combine painting and drawing together.
