REUNION Print - Limited Edition of 1

I paint for the satisfaction of the created work. If the range of emotions and thoughts I have experienced in the process of painting are visible on my canvas, only then do I call it finished.. It is important for me that my audience, in a very simple, perhaps old-fashioned way, gets pure enjoyment and pleasure from viewing and living with my paintings. This speaks to the power of art to transcend the troubles and realities of life and offer an alternate vision full. My career in art started when I was a child. My works are in permanent collections of world-class museums and have received numerous first place international awards. I paint in the expressionistic style which recalls the wistfulness and bittersweet memories of growing up during the difficult years after the World War II in Ukraine. My paintings capture these memories with hopefulness and joie de vivre expressed by the choice of warm palettes and lyrical compositions. My paintings also explore the complexities of modern life with fantastical depictions of intertwined human forms symbolically and metaphorically expressing our most basic and defining emotions.
