About the artist

I am Ukrainian artist based in Kyiv.
I was born in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia in 1991. I completed my studies in art at the Grekov Odessa Art school successfully in the year 2013. From 2013 until 2019 I continued my art education at the National Academy of Visual Arts and Architecture, painting department.
For me, the process of creating a picture is very important. It takes a lot of time to search for color harmony and building a rhythmic composition. At first, I do everything spontaneously, focusing only on feelings. Only then follows the stage of analysis of each step. I spend a lot of time and effort on this so that the result becomes simple and accurate as my first impression of the plot I saw.
It is this process that, like a black hole, delays all emotions and forces and leads me to that side where only a pure feeling. Images free from reality, from conditionality and understandable for everyone on a subconscious level. In my paintings, I try to convey the joy of being, a beautiful image arising from simple things. I am inspired by my life experience, and sometime poetry. Painting is like meditation for me.
