I'm a Ukrainian artist, born in Odesa, temporarily living in France.

I pick up a brush to put from my soul a channel of communication with the soul of the viewer. I paint knowing that the viewer will have a response. And this response is of great value. I believe that feeling, experiencing some event or phenomenon is what distinguishes the living from the dead. As long as you have experience, you are alive.

At the same time, laying this channel is not all. Worlds seethe on both ends of it: the world of the author and the world of the viewer. And the communication of these two worlds through art is the highest mission of the artist − to connect the pulsating with the pulsating.

The themes and subjects that I prefer are based on text and color. I like to paint text instead of a specific image, because the text gives more room for imagination (both mine and the viewer). Every time I paint something, there is a mutating prototype, a migrating landscape, a metamorphosis of the original source of inspiration. And I know that the same thing happens to the viewer: he draws a changing image in his mind. It is very interesting.

The process and technique is a white canvas, preferably a large one. I don't like working on small canvases be...
