Vitaly Gunaza (b. 1980, Pskov, Russia) is a contemporary painter whose work explores human presence and perception. He trained at the School of Fine Arts in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, before earning his degree in painting from the Belarusian State Academy of Arts in Minsk, where he continues to live and work. Painting in oil, Gunaza combines realism with abstract passages to build dynamic, often dreamlike compositions — figures caught in atmospheres shaped by light, movement, and the quiet flow of everyday life. The result is a world where reality and imagination coexist.
