I became an artist 9 years ago, when after a long search for myself and my vocation I realized that I want to paint the most. Then I left journalism, in which I already had 12 years of experience, in particular, as a co-host with Savik Shuster in the social talk show "Adrenaline" on the First National Channel (this is an interesting fact, right? :)) Within a few months, I managed to sell my paintings painted with oil paints for quite high sums, which once again convinced me of the truth - no matter what business you choose, if you do it from the heart, you can achieve anything you want. My first solo exhibition took place in Lviv in the wonderful Madame Palmgren Gallery. Then there were 9 more solo exhibitions, the last - in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine in Kyiv, and 6 group exhibitions in Ukraine and abroad. During the time since I have been drawing, I have also managed to try myself as an illustrator - I have an illustrative book by the famous TV presenter Olga Freimut "Etiquette". And I became the author of an art and social project, the performance "Feel the power of the family." It was a good story, when in Lviv and Lutsk my team and I recreated from people the living race of everyone up to 7 generations, and this is for a moment 254 participants! Now I live in Poland, where I work - I paint and sell all over the world. It is already available in Switzerland, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Italy, Norway, Austria, New Zealand, Singapore, the USA and Canada. But most often I send paintings to Ukraine, it is in my home country that most of my paintings are stored in private collections. Thank you, dear) Now I am also writing a book about my path and experience in adoption - in addition to two blood sons, we have a daughter of Roma nationality, who was adopted three years ago. I hope that in 2022 the book will be published.
