BIOGRAPHY
I was born on February 10, 1982, in Rivne, Ukraine. Painting has been a big part of my life since childhood. It was my favorite occupation ever but somehow after finishing high school, I was pushed to study Economics. After getting a Master’s degree I started my career in the telecom business and after 10 years in the industry and a successful carrier once traveling from vacation, I found myself in a dangerous situation during a flight. After experiencing a strong shock in the life threat experience I decided to leave the carrier and pursue my painting passion and family. I understood the importance of finding and feeling harmony with myself and the world around me. In February 2022 I was forced to leave Ukraine because of war started and together with my kids we moved to Sofia, Bulgaria, where I am living and creating currently.

STATEMENT
”There is no must in art because art is free”- Wassily Kandinsky.
Art is such a pure reflection of the artist’s nature and inner world. I have always qualified myself as an experimenter and believe art serves as a mirror to life reflecting complexities and beauty within the human experiences. This fact is the main source of my inspiration. I have found inspiration within myself and my works resulted from a complex process of finding a motif and transforming it. Ideas make emotions expressed by texture and rhythm. Another part of my inspiration comes from the natural world with all its beauty. Working with abstraction makes me feel free and happy – you never know what will be the ending when you start a new canvas. It brings a very fresh and vivid moment of living. I don’t consider myself an artist who communicates with society through my works. But each viewer can form a personal impression and immerse into my imaginary world. I want my paintings to evoke objects, feelings, and memories for the viewer.
