He completed his piano studies with distinction at the Prokofiev State Music Academy in Donetsk under Albina Orischuk achieving numerous competition successes during this period. Since 2010, he has resided in Germany, where he pursued postgraduate and master’s studies at the University of the Arts Bremen under Professor Patrick O’Byrne, completing both with distinction, including his concert exam.

His studies in composition have inspired his focus on improvisation, which is a central aspect of his musical endeavors. Yasynskyy performs improvisational evenings and interacts with the audience during his solo concerts. His innovative program designs are also reflected in interdisciplinary collaborations. For example, he performs with painters who create artworks in real-time to his music, or with visual artists who accompany his music with live digital impressions.

In May 2015, his first CD was released on the Grand Piano label (Naxos), featuring works by Polish piano master Józef Hofmann, which received enthusiastic reviews from publications such as Gramophone, the American Record Guide, Fanfare, the French magazine Diapason, and Radio Bremen. An intensive engagement with pre-piano techniques of harpsichordists led to a second CD featuring 18 sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti, released in January 2018 by Naxos, which was again celebrated with excellent reviews. In 2025, three more CDs featuring Artem Yasynskyy are scheduled for release: works by Valentin Silvestrov with the Mriya Excil Orchestra, recorded in September 2024 at the Sendesaal Bremen; works with Maddalena Del Gobbo (cello), recorded in November 2024 at the Konzerthaus Vienna; and works by Gabriel Prokofiev and Ukrainian music with his Lyatoshynsky Trio.
