Girl and magpie Painting

I grew up and work in the beautiful Ukrainian city of Odessa. Perhaps this is what influenced the abundance of sunny bright colors in my painting. My main source of inspiration are emotions and impressions that are shaped by the aesthetics of nature, architecture, music and painting. I have been drawing since childhood. After my childhood experiments of painting flowers with my mother's eyeshadows, my "creative search" was redirected to a music school. But at the age of sixteen, I still enter the university at the design department. After four years, I receive a Bachelor of Arts qualification. A year later, the qualification of a graphic designer. And three years later, after graduating from graduate school, I am writing a thesis dedicated to the illustration and design of children's books. At this time, I already had experience in organizing exhibitions and, as a participant, received positive reviews from critics. I have always been inspired by the diversity of female beauty. I strive to convey not only physical features In my paintings but also an emotional state using expressive lines of the body, weaving in airy strands of hair and collecting pastel tones of colors. I have a vast experience in painting, so the stile I use with acrylic paints borrows both watercolor and oil techniques, which gives my works a certain illustrative quality on the verge of realism.
