Hello and welcome to my gallery!
I was born in Ukraine, Zaporozhye in 1979. For as long as I can remember, I wanted to become an artist, I admired painting, and art in general, but I did not consider this as something real, as an occupation that one could do. But one day, the insight came that I want to learn painting and drawing, from a childhood dream, this became an intention. I needed a teacher.
In 2015, with a complete lack of knowledge, but with a great desire to become an artist, I came to the studio of Nataliia Nosyk, a member of the Union of Artists of Ukraine. And I studied in her workshop for 6 years. Thus began my path in painting. Now I am studying in the workshop of Vira Ustianska.
Painting now is something without which I can’t imagine my life, which makes me happy. I am very glad that I came to this and do what I love. Now I am interested in oil painting. The very process of working with the material, working with the texture of strokes, searching for colors, working with color and tone, searching for compositions. For me, painting is an endlessly interesting and exciting process of creative discovery and research, understanding and overcoming one's own boundaries and limitations. Each new picture is a feeling...
