This is an art project of the sculptures’ big project is part of the “hyperplastic Motanka” project, a traditional doll from ancient times. Motanka is a traditional doll that protects both the house and the child with its positive energy. I like to study and delve into history. Inspired by this part of the history of my country, Ukraine, I got the idea to create a full-length motanka sculpture. Let it be even more powerful energetically than small and more noticeable. This project is also eco friendly. These dolls-sculptures are made from scrap materials that have become unnecessary at home, and these are different clothes, plastic, polyethene, cardboard, etc. This is an ecological project for which, to create it, I bought only adhesive tape in the store, I found everything else at home and in an art studio, which was recycled to cleanse our planet of pollution. This work carries a positive paired energy, motanka sculptures are lovers—love, peace and goodness. Love will save the world! Let everyone enjoy this wonderful feeling.
In December 2020, dreaming of Art Basel Unlimited, I created a project inspired by the Ukrainian Motanka charm doll. I created Hypersealistic Motanka. I put the same mystical meaning into them, to protect and protect Ukraine, and the size is increased than traditionally, in order to cope with the volume and so that they have strength. I believe in Peace and Pray. I love Ukraine and I love Ukrainians. They are inspirers, history, traditions, strength, faith, mutual assistance.

One of my black&white photos, get Berliner Liste Special Edition during Berlin Art Week.
I like to work in eco-art and other types of a socially important genre of contemporary art. I am inspired by what is happening around us. Ideas like the lightning sparkle in me. Sometimes it’s not easy to immediately realize an idea, I like to combine unusual things and surprise. I want to draw attention to open questions, such as preserving the environment, by using unusual materials in my work, as well as how beautiful a woman's portrait is in black and white shadow. I have many ideas, but my main goal is to tell people in an accessible and interesting language how important is the preservation of the purity of our ecology and beauty will save the world and love makes us wiser.
