In childhood I used to draw mostly with pencils - as the easiest way to give shape to my imaginary images. Later, I realized that I can visualize life, see it in colors and shapes. More later, I recognized that the colors and shapes of the nature are the greatest perfection of the surrounding reality. They have variance, peace, sadness, silence, catharsis, mystery and story.
I have been working with the words for a long time. I studied literature and worked as a journalist. Until I allowed myself to express feelings and outlook using paints.
In April 2015 I took a piece of paper and a few pieces of dry pastels and painted clouds. They hadn't been given rest to my mind for a few weeks: it was a spring "exodus" of clouds from the sky. They moved like a great winter blanket. And they were shined by the sun.
Since then I've been painting on canvas with oil paints. For me it is a process of deep communication with myself and the world.
I studied the art of oil painting privately with Ukrainian artists whose art inspired me to study the form and color.
I paint the most perfect forms created by nature - the sea element, people, plants. Everything in which there is primal wildness, freedom, and therefore beauty. I love the play of the sun on human face, flower petals and water. I like to look for my own memories on unfamiliar streets or forest roads. Splashes of paint on canvas bring me back to that reality.
Portrait is a special sphere. The most important are eyes for me. Too alive, too talkative.
I would call my art aesthetic. There is an important health effect in this. Forms around are no less deep then our subconscious. They give some code a harmonious organization. Tuning in to this algorithm we can bring harmony back into our inner world.
I have created more than one hundred oil paintings. Some of them are in private collections in Ukraine, Germany, Poland, Great Britain, Ireland, Sweden and the USA.
