Still life with apples Painting

I explore the rhythm between form and emotion — where color and silence merge into visual harmony. For me, painting is both discovery and translation: a way to transform inner states into visible energy. Each canvas begins intuitively — with a gesture, a tone, a pause — and evolves into a composition where movement and stillness coexist. My work unfolds through several visual narratives: luminous landscapes, expressive city scenes, abstract color fields, and poetic figurative pieces. I often combine oil, ink, watercolor, and pastels, creating tactile layers where emotion meets structure. I build most of my canvases from the ground up — assembling the stretcher, selecting the fabric, and priming it by hand — so the act of creating begins long before the first brushstroke. My background in graphic design shapes the way I perceive rhythm and balance; it teaches me to listen to structure while painting emotion. My artwork has also appeared beyond the gallery walls — featured on the cover of the Oxford academic book Study of Religions and as album art for a German music collective — bridging painting with the worlds of sound and text. My paintings have been shown in exhibitions across Ukraine and abroad, and today they live in private collections in nearly thirty countries — from the USA and Canada to France, Germany, Australia, Italy, Portugal, and Japan. Through each piece, I aim to create quiet emotional dialogues — moments where viewers can pause, breathe, and feel the resonance of color and form.
