precursor Painting

Freelance artist, graphic designer, illustrator, teacher. In 2019 I received my master's degree in graphic design. Consciously, I started painting in the 4th year of university. Painting has become a place where I can escape and hide from the outside world. It is difficult for me to describe in words what painting is for me. Because it is not always an easy process. At times painting is extremely difficult. In painting, I just try to find myself. To allow myself to be real. I try to be honest. My stories are more about feelings and emotions. About the state of being in the moment. I'm very happy when the audience responds to this or that picture. I feel a closeness between us. I love bright colors, especially the combination of stark contrasts. Rarely do I know exactly what I want to portray. More often than not, my stories emerge as I work. Every day I learn to paint anew and every day I want something more from myself. I have participated in over 30 exhibitions. I also worked in some creative projects. I was born in Kherson, Ukraine. A terrible war broke out in my country. We had to leave everything and go to a safe place.
