Yury Darashkevich

Born in Belarus and a graduate of the Belarusian State Academy of the Arts, Yury began his artistic career in illustration and graphic arts.  Painting in his spare time, Yury's work began to develop a rich signature style - and that's what caught our eye when we saw his paintings for the first time.

Deeply rooted in Belarusian roots and culture, Yury's evocative work captures the beauty of his home country. A glorious marriage of representational landscapes and contemporary techniques, Yury's work feels traditional and modern at the same time. Almost photographically painted subjects in nature share the canvas with pockets of saturated color, drips and bold brush strokes. The result? Evocative, sensory paintings that are undeniably transportive.
