Oleksandr Pushkarenko is also an accomplished composer whose creative work forms a central pillar of his artistic identity. Deeply rooted in the Genoese violin tradition and inspired by what he defines as the “Paganinian Vector,” his compositional voice bridges historical virtuosity with a contemporary expressive language, enriching today’s violin repertoire with highly idiomatic and technically sophisticated works.

His catalogue includes music for solo violin, violin and piano, and violin with orchestra, characterized by brilliant virtuosity, strong melodic profile, and a theatrical sense of instrumental writing. Among his most significant compositions are the Violin Concerto “Superbo” (2021), the virtuosic piece I Balli delle Muse del Passo di Gatta Mora for violin and piano (2024), Capricciao (2022), and Montiana (2025), all of which highlight his dual identity as both performer and creator.

Pushkarenko frequently performs his own works in recital and in orchestral settings, offering audiences a distinctive perspective that unites compositional intention with direct performance practice. Several of his compositions have been recorded and presented in important festivals and cultural events, confirming the growing international interest in his music.

Alongside his concert activity, he is engaged in the theoretical and musicological exploration of the Paganini phenomenon, further strengthening the conceptual foundation of his compositional output. His works are particularly suited to virtuoso programs, thematic festivals, and projects focused on the evolution of the violin tradition.
