" is a mesmerizing painting series that invites viewers into a realm of mythical enchantment, where ancient forests come alive with the whispers of age-old myths and the ethereal presence of nymphs. Each artwork within this captivating collection is an intricate visual tapestry, meticulously crafted to evoke a sense of wonder and transport the audience to a world beyond the boundaries of reality.
In this series, the artist masterfully captures the essence of the forest, depicting sprawling canopies of emerald foliage, dappled sunlight filtering through towering trees, and a myriad of flora that thrive in this magical domain. The forest serves as the enchanted backdrop, symbolizing both the mysterious allure and the profound connection between nature and the mythical realm.
At the heart of each painting are the nymphs, ethereal beings of mesmerizing beauty and grace. These otherworldly creatures, said to be the guardians of the forest, are brought to life with a delicate brushstroke and a vivid palette of colors. Some nymphs are depicted in joyful celebration, dancing among sunlit glades and playful streams, while others are shown in moments of quiet contemplation, intimately connected with the natural world that surrounds them.
As viewers delve deeper into the series, they discover that the narratives unfold beyond mere visual delight. The artist draws inspiration from ancient myths and folklore, intertwining various legends of nymphs with tales of transformation, love, and adventure. Each painting offers a glimpse into a unique mythological narrative, capturing pivotal moments and evoking emotions that resonate with the viewer.
The interplay of light and shadow, the meticulous attention to detail, and the artist's skilled brushwork imbue the artworks with a sense of enchantment, inviting viewers to step into a dreamlike realm where reality and fantasy intertwine. Through this series, the artist endeavors to rekindle a sense of wonder, reminding us of the hidden magic that lies within the natural world and the power of myth to inspire our imaginations.
is not just a visual feast but also an exploration of the human connection with nature, the enduring allure of ancient myths, and the timeless beauty of the nymphs that have captivated our collective imagination for centuries. Step into the canvas, and allow yourself to be transported to a world where reality blurs with the mythical, where the forest whispers its secrets, and where nymphs dance under the moonlit sky.

This series of ongoing works are made in times of most darkness and despair, when all hope is almost gone. Colour at this works is still vivid but overall atmosphere is heavy. Some of the paintings are made with black ink when it’s no more space for colour.
We can see uncertainty of the next day in chaotic brushwork of artist.

The idea for this project began about a year ago, when I painted my friend Olya. She has been a source of encouragement to me when I was in unhealthy relationships. I had never before experienced a friendship like this: one that was loving and supportive. Olya was an unexpected gift. She gave me her friendship, advice and support when I had no one else in my life and a deep desire for self-improvement.
That’s why this friendship has been so enlightening for me. I began to examine the concept of womanhood, and at the same time I started feeling more sympathy for women who have been subjected to violence. Despite the general rise in violence across the world, I have chosen to focus on violence against women and at the same time their friendships with one another.
So world of women starts to open up to me, I saw how they support and inspire each other. I met a great number of girls brave and strong. I got the opportunity to meet women who are brave enough to speak their mind, say no to what they don’t like and tell all about it.
Seeing a lot of injustice in the world in general and in regard of woman in particular I decided to reflect this series of paintings called “Les jeux des femmes” which means “Games of girls”.
In this works I use pictorial violence to reflect violence toward women. I use lively, inflected strokes that enter the interior of the body rather than imply outline contours, thick paint and pieces of rag to reflect violence toward woman. The simplicity of paintings suggest her beauty.
I believe that the issues around the representation of women are more important than ever. To make change, we have to be able to talk about it openly and honestly—to do so will require sensitivity, understanding and forgiveness on everyone’s part. It is through this process that we can look at ourselves honestly and with compassion. The series is very personal to me in that I use my best friend as a model for most of the paintings. This project is also very symbolic in nature as its aim is to raise awareness of global inequalities between men and women.

This is an painting project consists of all time changing artwork. Every new session I will paint on this canvas transforming canvas into new artwork. Project will be ended when artwork will be sold so I could not change it anymore. This process represent live itself in motion as In philosophy: the form of the existence of matter, the continuous process of development of the material world. "There is no matter without movement and movement without matter".
