"Swan" Artwork - Limited Edition of 10

I live in Ukraine. I was born in Odesa.

Because of the war in Ukraine, I was forced to move to another city where are no shooting, and now I live in Uzhhorod.

I have been drawing since early childhood.

Experienced pain in my life, I realized that I am eager to make the world a better place.

The principles we apply to all people, our worldview, are directly related to the people we love. By indifferently passing by a person in trouble, we allow our loved ones to end up in the same situation in the future.

Truth is the most significant thing in art, because art speaks directly to the soul. The truth about reality, about your own and strangers' feelings. Truth is knowledge, therefore it is able to help, It is like a sunbeam that shows the way out of the darkness.

That's why my paintings are so varied, they are as varied as our world. There are among my works both about the beautiful, and about the terrible, and about the sad.

I want to show people what they don’t see. Society is often blind to the most elementary things. Even such a thing as the value of human life, although postulated, is cruelly disregarded by stereotypes and the order of things, as well as the primitiveness of reflexes, reactions and actions. And this is why I often raise this fundamental topic. To really convey this truth, I had to explain it in my paintings.

I am inspired by the complexity and beauty of the human body. I have depicted this in several paintings. A person is a very complex creature, just imagine, even a small section of a blood vessel, or, even more so, some organ has a very complex and sophisticated structure. Each person is a universe. The concept of beauty, as people see and understand it, is inseparable from the mind. It is people who see things as beautiful or not, it is people who see colors instead of color waves, and it is people who feel the corresponding emotions when they see these colors. The human brain is one with the nervous system located throughout the body, the work of the organs of this body affects emotions and perception.

I draw in digital style because it gives much more possibilities. I can quickly apply a lot of layers of transparent paint, one on top of the other, or erase something completely, and also use layers. I would like to say separately that digital painting is still a very undeveloped area.
