About me
I was born in Ukraine, in the provincial town Krivoy Rog.
All my childhood I was a part of the art. My mother is a school teacher and she believed that for a young lady there can’t be anything better than studying. So I studied gymnastic, ballet, music (playing fortepiano) all my childhood. But I always wanted to paint, so at 2004 when I was 11 years old my mom took me to an art school. That’s how my romance with color, painting and learning art history started. I studied 4 years there and after finishing my art school I took private lessons and master classes.
Paintings
My art is my way of experiencing myself.
I want to make a contribution towards getting people more confident and less shy about showing their deepest desires.
A large part of my work is drawing nude women, the reason for that is obvious - people shouldn't be emberrassed about beeing themsleves & showing their bodys, feelings and any kind of expression.
Latest art
In my opinion there exist no reason for war and there is no excuse for getting away with it. Families’ being ripped apart as men & women stay behind to fight. Innocent people die for literally no cause.
This painting is very important for me - not only because I’m Ukrainian and still in the midst of this disaster but also because I want to spread the message of love and the pain that people here suffering from.
I tried to portray my deepest feelings by painting this little girl.
Before the war started, my inner child was mental healthy and unconditionally happy - unfortunately this child had to grow up pretty quick and had to evolve to a warrior like the girl in the painting.
War changed this little girl, and broke her heart in two, but it also it's made her stronger.
