CANDLE Painting

I am Zaskotska Oksana Jaroslavivna (stage name: ZOJa), born in Ukraine on February 3, 1971. Since I was a child I have cultivated a passion for drawing, then later for painting which I experimented independently. I paint first with my heart, then using, in addition to brushes, my bare hands to enter the color dimension of which I love the contact, I love the smell. Painting for me is like breathing, a window opens in the imagination where everything is possible, nothing is perfect but absolutely and wonderfully unique. I have always wanted to undertake an artistic training path but the succession of events did not allow me, however I did not make me want to paint as self-taught. In 1990, therefore, I graduated in Hydrometeorology, carrying out the specialization in the Siberian Meteorological Station. In 1998 I moved to Italy, where with study and commitment I take the qualification of OSS, a profession that I have been doing every day for 16 years now, continuing to paint in my free time. Only in 2018 the passion for art became for me like a river in flood, so much so that it led me to join several cultural associations, including "Il Cenacolo"; "Free-Mind Art"; "A. L. I"; "ARTGlobal"; "Cultura Identità", actively participating in both collective and personal exhibitions. Currently my works are exhibited in private collections also abroad.
