View from the forest Sculpture

I graduated from Lviv National Academy of Arts (Ukraine) in 2010 and migrated to Bristol in 2018, after participating in different exhibitions, festivals, workshops around Eastern Europe. Pop art, meditative practices and psychedelic art, which smoothly transitioned into minimalism, became the basis of my artworks. I create glass wall art on plates of different styles and like to work with shapes, designs, colour and space. I am inspired by simple, natural and laconic forms, playing with light, searching for ideas and compositions. Visual pleasure from perception, imagery, aesthetics, balance, expression- this is what I want to captivate the viewer with. I work with blown and fusing glass techniques and like to experiment with different materials such as foil, cooper wire, epoxy components, patterns, plaster moulds, glass threads, paints and powders, glass crumb, millefiori. For me art glass is a way of self-expression and a part of the family tradition because my grandfather was a glass blower. Working with glass is a challenge, it is impossible to predict the result. It is a mystery especially when it is blown glass and fusing. In 2017 I was a participant of the Professor AndriyBocotey Award, presented to young glass artists by the Museum of Glass in Lviv, Ukraine.
