I live all my life with Abstract Art under my skin and deeply enjoy to the fact my grand grand grandfather was the official painter at Ortodox Church. I have got still his old b&w photo, where he sits during the painting with easel. I'm Ukrainian and was born in Kiev in 1959, USSR, and now live in Kyiv, Ukraine. I started to paint early and decision to go to a local Children Art School was taken solely by me. I just came up to mom and told: - I will go to the Art School. She glanced and answered: - Nice. Later, I graduated after Kyiv Polytechnical Institute and took 5 year classes on Jazz Guitar at Music School. In 90's I jammed as guitarist around Kyiv Art Galleries with my free jazz trio. We played Free Form Improvisation Jazz and kept my paintings at the concerts close to a scene. We have had many TV and Radio shows. I used to try a lot of visual styles and classical fine Art style of painting, but my heart definitely lies close to the Abstract Intuitive Art. I love to discover new forms and spaces, to find harmony in the chaos. That is my passion. Most of my work I start from the inner spontaneous impulse, as if improvisation. From the internal impulse - line, stroke, dot, I walk through and make it journey until painting starts to resonate in visual harmony. That principle is very close to Zen monk meditation. So, I, could tell, I love visual spontaneous free improvisation. My pallette mostly neutral. I do a lot of layering, add textures. My artworks are finished when I feel they start to talk to me. My forms are organic and have no sharp borders, exactly as our eyes see outside world around. We see images as the objects and only then name it. Nobody can tell the name of the beauty of the sea. Everyone is emotionaly excited to watch beauty of the sea, every man on the Earth tells: - How impressive! But if you would ask him what exactly do you like? You hear no answer.
