Biography and Creative Path:
Born April 30, 1970, in Minsk. From an early age, he showed an interest in fine arts and sports.


Areas of Activity:

Photography and Visual Art
In his works, Serhii Mykhaliuk combines a documentary foundation, conceptual intent, and abstract visual aesthetics, exploring the dynamics of light and form in motion through the prism of bodily perception and perceptual interaction with the environment, creating a unique authorial style.


Projects:

Author of the book: "Fluxism. Your Trace in the Universe."
Philosophy of holistic perception in the practice of art and science.
This is not a theoretical treatise, but a captured experience of personal transformation, where a philosophical manifesto is born from a specific artistic methodology and existential lived experience.
It is a path of transforming the camera from a visual tool for recording the external world into a device for exploring one's own consciousness, converting sensations and bodily states into a unique light trace. This is the quintessence of the path of holistic perception of the Sensing Human.


FLUXISM / Your Trace in the Universe — an interdisciplinary immersive project of conceptual photography at the intersection of philosophy and art, exploring the interaction between human, time, and space. From a visual study of the unity of forms and structures in nature — to holistic perception and bodily state, where the camera becomes a transducer of bodily impulses and light into a photographic artefact.


THE CELL'S EVOLUTION — an interdisciplinary project exploring the visual harmony of biological and artificial structures.


Rice and Icon of Vietnam — a black-and-white fine art photography project about the traditions and culture of rice cultivation and the lifestyle of local residents in the mountain provinces of Vietnam.


Qi Space — a philosophical exploration of energy flows and their interconnections in visual imagery.

Reviews

Artist’s Statement:

"Discipline, self-discovery, and the study of existence shape who we are. I chose art as my path—not as decoration, but as a vessel for transformative visual language. My works are artifacts, not ornaments. I have not yet mastered myself, but I am on the Way."


Motto: " Photography is no longer just a matter of vision.
Photography is a consequence of a person's holistic perception.

The light within us"


Key Philosophies:

Fluxism: Photography as a collaboration between human fragility and cosmic randomness.

Art as Alchemy: Images that alter perception, not just record it.

The Unrepeatable: Every frame is a singular tremor of time.
