Swallow birds Painting

I am a full time watercolor/oil artist residing in Kyiv, Ukraine. I was born in Crimea in the city of Simferopol in 1989. Years ago when I was a little girl I drew a lot, but never told anyone that I wanted to become an artist. I was a very shy child and I was always afraid that my skills were not good enough. Drawing was my secret passion for a long time, even when I graduated from university with a psychology degree, I didn't stop. In September 2012 I moved from Crimea to Kyiv and started a new chapter of my life. Kyiv is my home now and I love this city very much! But in those days when I was alone in the big city, it was a thrilling challenge! I started working in a creative workshop as a manager, but in all my free time I painted. Eventually I became more confident and started showing my artworks to people. Their responses really inspired me not to give up! And now I'm a self-taught watercolor and oil artist. Drawing is my life, it makes me who I am! My inspiration is nature, animals, and personal moments that resonate with me. I am currently working on several paintings with social themes. Words and human speech have always seemed too harsh and straightforward to me, through art you can speak in a much more subtle and delicate way. I'm still in search of my artistic language, but I believe that every year my "voice" sounds more confident and louder.
