"rain song" Painting

I received my education at an amazing college in a picturesque mountainous region in the Ukraine, where I grew up. It stretched my mind, imagination, and curiosity in ways I never even knew were possible. It challenged me and expanded my core foundations of art, thought, work ethic and spirituality. It better equipped me with the grit necessary to achieve my artistic dreams. I received an Art Degree which affirms that I am a creative artist with the ability to produce the maximum from my true essence in life – a painter and artist. I am also an artisan furniture maker.

As an artist, I paint by feeling until the painting is an expression of myself. I gather inspiration from the situations I experience and express them through my paintings. Each piece has a personal meaning to me. When I paint, I feel like I am engrossed in a world where creativity takes precedence.

Now I am creating abstract canvas pieces where I feel the artistic freedom to portray who I truly am as an artist. I paint daily in my attached artist studio space, meeting wonderful people who pass through my space. I sell original paintings, prints and commissioned pieces both online and in the gallery. I have had several exhibitions recently both in realistic and abstract styles. I donate some of the money I earn by selling the paintings and drawings to the volunteers who support the defenders of independence of my country.

I am so thankful for the support I have had from my family throughout my life for my dreams, goals and passion for art.

Thank-you for looking at my work.



Sincerely, Viktor Babak.
