Oil Painting Inspired by Deer, Inner Strength and Dignity

The main passion in the artist’s painting is deer. For Vitali Shoupikov, they are not merely animals, but symbols of inner strength, nobility and dignity. In his paintings, the deer becomes a spiritual figure filled with expression, tension and personal meaning.

Sacred Art, Expressionism and Surrealism

Another important theme that inspires the artist is sacred art. Vitali Shoupikov works in the styles of expressionism and surrealism, creating compositions full of emotion, symbolism and spiritual atmosphere. All of his works are painted exclusively with oil paints on canvas.

Exhibitions and Private Collections

Vitali Shoupikov’s works have been presented in group exhibitions in Italy at the “Spazio 40” gallery, in France during the Sacred Art Festival “Senlis”, and in Poland at “Sacro Expo 2023”. His paintings are held in private collections in Poland, the Czech Republic, the United States, France and Italy. They have also appeared in art auction results.

Paintings That Find Their Own Collectors

The artist emphasizes that over the years of his creative work, he has noticed one unique quality in his deer paintings — their images seem to appear on the canvas by themselves, while he serves only as a guide. Once a painting is finished, each deer begins to wait for the person who will fall in love with it at first sight.
