Malyshevsky Sergey (1956–2020)

Noah's Ark

Sergei Malishevsky (1956–2020) was a Belarusian painter renowned for his distinctive surrealist style and vivid artistic voice. He was in Moscow to Algirdas Malishevsky, the eminent Belarusian artist and educator whose impact on 20th century Belarusian art cannot be overstated. He graduated from the Minsk Art College and the Belarusian State Academy of Arts. Malishevsky was an active member of both the Belarusian Union of Artists and the International Guild of Painters, as well as a key participant in the Artel creative association.

Sergei Malishevsky’s work was characterized by profound symbolism and meticulous detail. His paintings transport viewers into fantastical worlds rich with metaphors and allegories. By the time of his passing in 2020, most of his works had been acquired by private collectors, leaving few pieces in his family’s possession.

Following his passing, the Belarusian Union of Artists mounted the tribute exhibition "We Are Together", showcasing both Malishevsky's surviving works and pieces by contemporary artists influenced by his visionary style. This commemorative event served as a profound homage to his enduring legacy and seminal role in Belarusian art.

Malishevsky's explosive creativity left an indelible imprint on Belarus' art scene - with his visionary works continuing to captivate collectors and critics across continents.

Sergei Malishevsky was a dynamic presence on the Belarusian art scene, with his works exhibited nationally and internationally. Notable exhibitions include:
