Why I make art
Biography
Sergey Gordienko is a Los Angeles-based artist whose mission is to remind people to DO WHAT YOU LOVE.
The phrase appears in every painting he makes: sometimes in oversized hand-lettered type, sometimes layered beneath the paint, always the signature that makes the work instantly recognizable.
After more than fifteen years as a designer, art director, and creative director, including running his own design studio, he committed to painting full-time. In the decade since, he has sold more than 500 original paintings to collectors around the world. In 2019, the City of Miami acquired one of his works for permanent display at City Hall.
Beyond the studio, he has run his own galleries in Miami, organized exhibitions, and exhibited during Miami Art Week, with work shown at Art Basel Miami Beach.
A longtime Burning Man contributor, he has brought paintings, workshops, and installations to the playa, most recently a large-scale sculpture in 2026.
Since 2017, he has worked at the intersection of art and blockchain, speaking at crypto conferences and exploring digital art early. His work has received press coverage in Forbes, CNN, and CoinTelegraph.
Today he works from his studio in Los Angeles, creating paintings, sculpture, murals, and wearable art for people who want a daily reminder to make time for what they love.
