"View of the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute on Punta della Dogana in Venice, Italy" Painting

I was born on April 20, 1960, in Cherkasy in Ukraine. Since childhood, I loved to draw, and this became the main activity in my life in the future. The constant desire to create led me to study drawing and painting in various art studios and then at the institute. I paint mainly oil and acrylic. I take themes from life, it’s enough to wake up in the morning and the world of still life and landscape, everyday scenes and just beautiful light and colour combinations opens in front of me. The study and analysis of the world around me allows me to transform reality into a picturesque environment on canvas. After graduating from the Kharkiv Art and Industry Institute in 1989, I live and work in Kherson. Many paintings were written from the impressions of travelling in different countries.
