"Ukrainian Golgotha" Painting

I am a Ukrainian artist based in Kyiv. I began painting at the age of four, held my first solo exhibition at eleven, and later studied Fashion Design at Istituto Marangoni London. Alongside painting, I have worked as a theatre artist, fashion designer, and book illustrator — always exploring how visual art can tell stories across different mediums. While my early works often drew on nature as a living metaphor, today my focus is on inner states and personal experiences. My art is built on symbols and metaphors — there are no accidental strokes or lines, as every detail carries intention and becomes part of a larger narrative. In this stage of my practice, I no longer depict external reality but transform feelings into visual form, with each canvas becoming a diary of perception.
