Svitlana Chernenko

I was born in Kherson - south of Ukraine.
In 2002 at age 17 I moved to Kiev alone because I understood that it is big city with great possibilities for young people.
I graduated Technical university and all my life was connected with banking sector and finance. Never-never I thought that I would paint.
All my father's family members were talanted in hand-craft.
After age of 25 I understood that I want to create and to share with my emotions through painting.
The most emotions I get exactly from this, when I can express myself. I never stop in looking for new ideas. The first my work in painting was created in 2008 year, it was present to my colleague. Substantially I started painting in 2012 year after birth of my son. My ideology was greatly changed.

My first steps in art were very unconfident. I was shy to sign my artworks because I thought that only people with art education can do this. I was shocked when my colleagues were ready to order artworks for money. Previously I was painting and just presenting my artworks to my friends. When I understood that I am creating artworks that are in demand I decided to organize my site to put every artwork in some order. It was 2017 year. Since that painting became as part of everyd...

I don't have any art education. I graduated Kiev Politechnical University and worked in corporate banking(SME). I'm autodidact artist.
But each artwork helps me in learning and expressing myself, painting is whole my life more than any activities, it’ s more than hobby, it’ s more than job.
