In the big canvas of my imagination, I present to you an immersive tale spun with strokes of ebony and ivory — " A Scary Tale." This large painting transcends mere visual storytelling; it plunges into the depths of the supernatural, where a young witch and a devil engage in a dance of allure and enchantment.
At the forefront of the composition stands the young witch, an embodiment of mystery and magical prowess. Her form radiates an otherworldly aura, evoking the belief in magic and the allure of the unknown. Cloaked in monochrome shades, she is a testament to the duality of her existence — caught between the realms of light and shadow.
Beside her, the devil emerges, a sinister yet alluring figure, extending a hand in a gesture of temptation. The large painting captures the delicate moment when the mundane and the mystical collide, blurring the lines between good and evil. The dark artistry at play here weaves a narrative of sorcery, magic, and the age-old dance between light and darkness.
The setting, reminiscent of a household painting from a bygone era, takes on an ethereal quality. It invites viewers into a realm where legends and fairy tales come to life. The young witch, with her magical abilities, and the devil, with his ominous charm, create a tableau that transcends the ordinary, inviting contemplation on the fine line between belief in magic and the fear of the magical unknown.
"A Scary Tale" is more than a fairy tale illustration; it is an exploration of the human psyche, a canvas that resonates with the complex interplay of desires, fears, and the allure of the supernatural. As you gaze upon this dark art, let yourself be drawn into the mysterious depths of a world where the boundaries between reality and fantasy dissolve into a mesmerizing dance of temptation and magic.

I am a Ukrainian artist, but I have lived half of my life in Europe.
I paint because for me it's a kind of meditation in which I lose track of time, designing and creating a whole new world that no one has ever seen before.
Portrait is the most congenial form of art to me. It is incredibly interesting to observe people and visualize their actions and behavior, transforming them into images that can be depicted on canvas.
Portraits of women are my special love. Women are ambiguous, mysterious, magic lurks in them. It's a bottomless world, like the rabbit hole Alice fell into. My paintings are not about female beauty, they are about her inner world, which is inhabited not only by angels but also by demons
Sometimes I paint landscapes and flowers It turns out easily. Probably, painting them, I just relax :-)
