Artist: Dariichuk Roman
I'm an architect who loves painting. My art is like a story with different parts. First, I show simple feelings, like love. Then, I celebrate where I come from, Bukovina, by telling stories with my paintings.

But it's not just happy stories. I also talk about the tough parts, like war in my homeland. Through my paintings, I want people to think about how regular folks feel during hard times.

I like trying lots of styles in my art. I think art should be a mix of different things. It makes my paintings interesting and keeps up with our diverse world.

A cool thing about my art is I use whatever I find on the street – paints, digital prints. It's like a treasure hunt, finding beauty in unexpected places. This also helps the environment, which is important to me.

In the end, my paintings tell stories of love, culture, and being strong. I use different styles and materials to connect with people and talk about how art shapes how we see the world.

From studying architecture and interior design at Chernivtsi Polytech College in the quaint city of Chernivtsi, Ukraine, I embarked on a transformative journey. Fueled by a desire for broader horizons, I moved to the vibrant coastal city of Odesa.

In Odesa, my role evolved from an interior designer to a comprehensive study of architecture at the Odessa State Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture. The shift brought a fresh perspective, blending the charm of Chernivtsi with the dynamic architectural canvas of Odesa.

This journey from small-town academia to coastal aspirations has shaped me into a versatile architect. Each city contributed to my narrative, fostering artistic growth and a commitment to innovative design. Today, I continue to navigate the ever-evolving world of architecture, grateful for the diverse influences that have sculpted my professional identity.
