"Silent Echo" Painting

Iʼm a surrealist artist based in Kyiv, Ukraine, my practice is profoundly informed by an academic background as a Candidate of Cultural Studies (PhD) and Associate Professor. My work operates at the nexus of biomorphic symbolism, deep psychology, and the aesthetics of dark realism. Specializing in oil painting and mixed media (oil with sculpted elements on wood substrates), I intend to create complex, tactile objects that serve as portals into the subconscious. My oeuvre - ranging from anatomical heart studies to atmospheric forest landscapes and moody figurative pieces, invites viewers to confront the raw, visceral nature of perception, body, and mortality. Each work is a unique investigation into the cultural and psychological layers of visual language.
