Oleksiy Divisenko (born 1986) is a Berlin-based Ukrainian artist who doesn't know what he's doing.

And that’s precisely the point. His work resists certainty, embracing instinct, play, and contradiction. Using primarily acrylic on canvas, with occasional touches of oil, Divisenko creates vivid, dreamlike scenes populated by childlike creatures, distorted forms, and raw emotional gestures.

His paintings oscillate between humor and discomfort, absurdity and sincerity. What might at first appear naive reveals deeper psychological and symbolic layers upon longer view. Influenced by Eastern European visual culture, outsider art, and everyday absurdities, Divisenko’s work explores identity, memory, and the strange poetry of the mundane.

He doesn’t aim to explain, only to offer space for tension, wonder and the honesty of not knowing.
