"“Rest”" Painting

My name is Diana. I was born in a small town in the Donetsk region of Ukraine, and my whole life has been connected to art. I started drawing in early childhood — it all began with a torn piece of wallpaper that I secretly tried to “restore.” My parents noticed a few days later. I guess it turned out quite well.

I studied at an art school, where my love for painting truly began to take shape. After finishing school, I faced the moment of choosing my future path. I followed my family’s wishes and pursued a degree in economics. It was my grandparents’ biggest dream to hold my diploma in their hands, but sadly, they passed away a year before my graduation.

During my second year at university, I started working as an artist — and I’ve never stopped since. Today, art is not only my passion but also my way of living. It constantly reminds me that education is something you do for yourself, but true talent always finds its way and leads you to your purpose.
