Serhii Maidukov

Serhii Maidukov (born 1980 in Donetsk) is a Ukrainian artist, illustrator and graphic artist. The Ukrainian Wikipedia article primarily connects him with book and magazine illustration, work for The New Yorker, The Guardian, The Washington Post, Financial Times Weekend and his own art books; that experience in precise contemporary graphics is also visible in his coin design.

For the UA Coins catalog Maidukov’s key issue is the 2023 NBU commemorative coin The Land of Superheroes. Thanks to the Energy Workers! A National Bank numismatic-store article directly states that the coin’s design was created by the well-known Ukrainian artist, illustrator and graphic designer Serhii Maidukov; Anatolii Demianenko was the sculptor. The minimalist composition with a trident that transforms into the letter “E” when the coin is rotated links the energy-workers theme with the language of contemporary poster and editorial illustration.
