Downtown 81 interpretation Painting

Ukrainian artist based in Berlin. First of all, I am human. Everyone assumes that I am a painter, maybe it is true, but I would like to disagree. I am a creator, an explorer and an artist. Even before I could speak, I knew that I wanted to create art, and now it is my main aim and in life. I am an individual who cannot live without art. Like everyone else, I had different troubles in my life that affect me as an individual, but it makes me who I am today and influences my character and technique / approach. I was born in Siberia but brought to Ukraine at a very young stage of my life and raised by my grandparents. The first thing I could remember from my childhood, is a memory of being shaved bold holding my mum’s portrait painted by an artist. That is when I understood that an artist can create and portray an emotion or feeling as well as a human being could. When I held her portrait, I instantly knew that this is what I wanted to do in the future – Be an artist. Art is my oxygen, and my purpose in life to exist. I lose myself and my link to society when I stop creating. it is a vital part of me without which I cannot survive. There are things that are hard to explain without visualizing them within art. Some things are unspoken, but can be felt through my work, but you need to feel it for yourself. For me art is an international language, via which I can explain my thoughts, opinions and dreams.
