"Шива" (2023) Painting by Oksana Verstiuk

Oksana Verstuk. Biography. I have always been interested in understanding the beauty of the world, and this has been since childhood and also through creativity in everything, and drawing and painting have always been interesting to me. Yes, of course, I studied at an art school for 4 years, and then for 5 years I studied at an art college of applied arts, which is located in the colorful area of ​​​​the Carpathian mountains. Faculty of artistic weaving, additional craft - they made tapestries and other things. After college, she worked as a teacher at an art school for several years. Later he moved and worked as a teacher in a rural school. Now a freelance artist. Creativity has always helped me to follow my own path in life and these were incredible discoveries and learnings. Creative search in colors, shapes, and execution techniques often inspired the creation of new paintings and new beautiful things in life. The picturesque beauty of nature inspires and this is natural. I understand that there is a classical palette and studying classical education is always wonderful, and later there was a moment of creating my own individual color palette in painting, I felt like it and did so. I only compare with myself at different periods of my life, because everyone has their own way.

For a long time there was no attaching importance to exhibitions, but more interest in knowledge and the search for oneself to understand, spiritual practices and creativity.

I execute themes that come to me, sometimes without even knowing what exactly the picture will look like when completed, but knowing that everything will be beautifully and safely.
